New Chair for Bob Lawless (And I Don't Mean a Recliner)

Just saw a terrific announcement: the University of Illinois is recognizing Credit Slips' fearless founder, Bob Lawless, with the Max L. Rowe Professorship.

Bob has done so much for our field and the legal academy that attempting a quick summary is futile. And, putting aside the recliner quip, roasting is best left to others. So I'll leave it at this for now: Bob is a role model for working harder and smarter, and with modesty. To see such contributions rewarded is satisfying indeed.
