UC Irvine Chancellor Michael V. Drake and Erwin Chemerinsky have reached an agreement that will return the liberal legal scholar to the dean's post at the university's law school, sources told The Times this morning.
With the deal -- which is expected to be formally announced by 10:30 a.m., after which the two will hold a joint news conference -- they hope to end the controversy that erupted when Chemerinsky was dropped as the first dean of the Donald Bren School of Law.
