Another Ivy League Dean to Obama's Administration

Tuesday March 31, 2009

President Obama has chosen Yale Law School Dean Harold Hongju Koh as legal adviser to the U.S. Department of State.

A White House press released called Koh "one of the country's leading experts on public and private international law, national security law, and human rights."

You may remember that Elena Kagan, the former dean of Harvard Law School, was named as the U.S. Solicitor General.

How many more deans of Ivy League law schools can Obama place in the upper ranks of government? Stay tuned!
