FAR Forms in first distribution (entry-level law school faculty hiring). This year is the highest number of FAR forms since 2015.
Super interesting question - FAR forms can be used only for hiring, not data aggregation or analysis, so I don't know anything about the pool characteristics, this year or other years. (I don't personally have access to FAR forms.)

This Article provides new insights into the federal income tax deductions available to individuals. First, after organizing individuals' deductions into the familiar categories of expenses versus losses and three types of activities that individuals engage in, the Article shows the advantages of bifurcating the standard losses category. Second, it focuses on limitations that the Internal Revenue Code (Code) imposes on deductions. It identifies two distinct types of "separate limitations" the Code uses, and it uncovers important patterns in how the Code treats disallowed amounts. Third, although the federal income tax is generally described as using annual accounting, the Article shows that the categories that individuals' deductions fall into map neatly onto annual, transactional, and lifetime-esque accounting, with limited and revealing exceptions.
@leandra2848.bsky.social and I have just posted a new working paper, "Decoding Deductions," to @ssrn.bsky.social - we welcome comments! ssrn.com/abstract=537... - abstract follows...

1st draft, Lawsky Entry-Level Hiring Report 2025 (law school faculty). So far, similar to recent yrs. As always, report is incomplete. It is certainly missing some hires. I will keep updating; please let me know of additional hires not reflected here. www.lawskyprojects.org/entry-level-... 1/2
Again, I know that this report is incomplete. Entry-level hiring report should be done centrally and systematically, e.g. by AALS. But that is not this report. To make it as complete as possible, please send info re hires you know about not already reflected on the spreadsheet linked in post. 2/2

Hoping to get 1st version of 2025 entry-level law school hiring report out soon - please send information about entry-level law school hires! Info at link about what info to send, where to send, etc. (It's not "last call" because as always I'll continue to update report after 1st version.)
Time for @sarahlawsky.bsky.social's annual entry-level hiring report. If you signed on for an entry-level tenure track law prof job, congrats, and it would be great if you could fill out your info.
