Th John F. Scarpa Chair in Catholic Legal Studies at Villanova

I am delighted to announce that the first holder of the John F. Scarpa Chair in Catholic Legal Studies at Villanova University School of Law will be Patrick M. Brennan, formerly of Arizona State's law school. Patrick will assume the position effective August 1, 2004, and his inauguration will be held this fall. Needless to say, we are delighted that such an outstanding scholar will be joining our community to play a crucial role in helping us serve our mission as a Catholic and Augustinian institution. I will be posting a press release shortly that will provide more information about Patrick. PS - he will also be joining MOJ shortly as a blogista, and I am sure will make excellent contributions to our conversation.
