Mahoney

UVA has chosen a new dean. I've never had a class from Professor Paul Mahoney, but he served as advisor for my journal and the symposium we produced last year. He was always very nice.

I did have a class from his wife, Professor Julia Mahoney. She was eccentric to say the least, but the perfect person to teach property. You'll never find anyone so excited about remainder interests, public easements, and adverse possession.

Although John Jeffries' wingtips will be hard to fill, I believe Mahoney will be a good man for the job.

I don't know that anyone can be as dapper as Dean Jeffries. He was a dapper guy.

It will be interesting to see how the atmosphere at the Law School and the Foundation will change with a new Dean.
