Louisiana State University Law Center Future Law Teachers Fellowship Program
Louisiana State University Law Center welcomes applications for its Future Law Teachers Fellowship Program for the 2011-2012 academic year. The Law Center is interested in fellows who are looking for an opportunity to prepare themselves for careers in legal education, who have an aptitude for teaching, and who are highly motivated to produce legal scholarship. Candidates should have outstanding academic credentials, be admitted to the practice of law, and have at least one year of significant post-graduate legal or judicial clerkship experience. The initial appointment of fellows will be for one year, but it is anticipated that fellows will remain for a second year. Fellows will have an opportunity to teach legal research, legal writing, and oral advocacy to our first-year students. Those who continue into the second year will also be given an opportunity, during the fall semester, to teach a seminar or course in an area of their substantive interest. Fellows will be expected to engage in scholarly research and writing, and will be expected to have an article accepted for publication during their second year.
