Having held the Copenhaver Chair at West Virginia University College of Law for two semesters, Michael Blumenthal will remain in Morgantown for another academic year. Blumenthal is a lawyer, poet, novelist, essayist, memoirist, and translator. See my article about Blumenthal here.
Professor James R. Elkins, editor of The Legal Studies Forum, was instrumental in bringing Blumenthal from Old Dominion University, where Blumenthal held an endowed chair, to West Virgina University.
