Shauna Fitzgibbons’ husband, Gary Culliss, sent me an e-mail in late June announcing the birth of their fourth child. “We are thrilled to welcome an 8-pound, 13-ounce bouncing baby boy into the world today. I’ve attached a photo of mom and son together from this evening. They are both doing fine, and the whole family is overjoyed with our new addition to the family!” It took Shauna and Gary a day or two to pick a name, but after ruminating they picked Bronson Justice Culliss. Bronson, whose middle name was selected because Shauna and Gary met in law school (Harvard, for those keeping score), joins big sisters Elle and Emmy and big brother Hudson in the Fitzgibbons-Culliss household. They live near us in New York City, so Andrew and I are planning to head down soon and meet the newest family member.


Speaking of Andrew Hyman, aka my husband, I am pleased to announce that he was recently promoted to special counsel at Covington and Burling, LLP. Andrew’s practice focuses on corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions. 


And in other law news, associate professor David Cohen has received tenure from Drexel University’s Earle Mack School of Law in Philadelphia. The day after he received tenure, he was awarded the best professor award, the Dean Jennifer L. Rosato Excellence in the Classroom Award, from the law school’s graduating class. David has now won this award three times—from the four classes that have graduated so far from the new law school. Congratulations! David currently serves on the board of directors for the Women’s Medical Fund in Philadelphia and is a contributor to the Feminist Law Professors blog and The Good Phight, a blog on the Philadelphia Phillies.
