Jack Boger Named New Dean At UNC Law School
Jack has been on the UNC faculty for 16 years, serving most recently as Wade Edwards Distinguished Professor of Law and Deputy Director of the law school's Center for Civil Rights (alongside civil rights legend and center director Julius Chambers). He is an enormously popular and admired teacher, having won the school's annual teaching award many times.
Jack is also an alumnus of the law school -- class of '74 -- and a North Carolina native.
Jack's a former staff member of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, where he directed the LDF's Capital Punishment Project. (ConLaw and CrimPro buffs: Jack argued McCleskey v. Kemp in the Supreme Court.) He also chairs the Poverty and Race Research Action Council, a Washington, D.C.-based federation of civil rights, civil liberties and legal services groups that encourages national coordination of social scientific research and legal advocacy on behalf of the poor. He is the co-editor of Race, Poverty, and American Cities (UNC Press 1996) and, more recently, School Resegregation: Must the South Turn Back? (UNC Press 2006).
On top of all that, he's a prince of a guy.
Congratulations, Jack!

Kudos to Prof. Boger. Here's to hoping he can rake in the bucks, too!
