The video for the ABA Professor’s Corner webinar on Retrenchment and Rollback: Federal Consumer Protection and Housing has been posted. Rosa Newman (Elon) moderated and I spoke alongside Kathleen Engel (Suffolk) and Julie Patterson Forrester Rogers (SMU). The session explored “the federal government’s retrenchment on consumer and civil rights protections during the Trump Administration and the consequences for housing. The panel will connect shifts in federal consumer protection frameworks to the on-the-ground impacts for affordable housing development, tenant stability, and fair housing enforcement.”

Suffolk Law Hiring A Tenure-Track Real Estate Professor
John Infranca of Suffolk University Law School asked that I post this because one of the positions is focused on Real Estate Transactions:
Suffolk University Law School in Boston expects to fill up to three tenure-track or tenured doctrinal faculty positions, starting in 2024-2025. We seek candidates with a strong record or promise of significant scholarship and a demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching. Our search will focus on Property; Constitutional Law; and a third position open to a range of teaching and scholarly interests. Our needs in the area of Property include the first-year course plus advanced courses in Trusts and Estates and Real Estate Transactions. Our needs in the area of Constitutional Law include the first-year course plus advanced courses in First Amendment and Civil Rights (including the intersection of law and race, gender, and sexual orientation). Our additional needs include Family Law, Business Law, Technology Law, Professional Responsibility and Health Law.
Interested candidates should include in their application a curriculum vitae with a cover letter and scholarly agenda addressed to Professors John Infranca and Linda Sandstrom Simard, co-chairs of the Appointments Committee. Candidates are invited to share in their cover letter how they would advance the law school’s commitment to diversity and inclusion through their teaching, scholarship or service. When you post materials on Jobvite, do not send duplicate materials to the Chairs of the Appointments Committee via email.
