Program:

Fellows will be expected to engage in scholarly research and writing, and will be expected to have an article accepted for publication in a law journal during their second year.
Our Commitment to LSU Law Future Law Teachers Fellows:
Faculty mentors and the law school faculty generally will actively support fellows with respect to their teaching, scholarship, and their efforts to obtain tenure-track positions in the legal academy. Fellows will also receive a salary of $60,000/year plus benefits, summer research support, a moving allowance, and an allowance for professional travel and travel to interview for a tenure-track position at the AALS Conference.
Qualifications:
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.
