Professor Bainbridge...on law, politics, religion, culture & food

Ken Klee Named to Top 500 Lawyer List

Congratulations to my friend and UCLA colleague Ken Klee for being one of only 9 law professors named by The Lawdragon as one of the 500 Leading Lawyers in America:

The master of disaster has kept a low profile the last few years preparing the definitive look at Supreme Court bankruptcy jurisprudence, building on his work for Boston Chicken, First Trust and Bank of New York.

Kenneth Klee wrote the modern bankruptcy laws, then added teaching at UCLA to his private practice, all the while helping China establish its own bankruptcy code. Need we say more?

Brian Leiter reports that the other professors on the list are:

Lucian Bebchuk (Harvard), Jack Goldsmith (Harvard), Neal Katyal (Georgetown), Harold Koh (Yale), Mark Lemley (Stanford), Geoffrey Stone (Chicago), Jonathan Turley (George Washington), and Elizabeth Warren (Harvard).  Judge Richard Posner, who still teaches part-time at Chicago, also made the list, unsurprisingly.
