Walter Olson Headed to Cato Institute

May 4, 2010

Walter Olson – the intellectual godfather of the legal reform movement – is shifting institutes – from Manhattan to Cato.  Manhattan’s Jim Copeland does a nice job at PointofLaw.com of summarizing Walter’s myriad contributions to legal reform, including the founding of the indispensible Overlawyered.com.  Congratulations to Walter and to Cato for reeling in perhaps the biggest fish in the legal reform pond.  Of course, the Manhattan Institute will be very ably served by Ted Frank, who will now edit PointofLaw.com in addition to his ongoing scholarly work on issues critical to legal reform.
