Global Fellows Forum

The Global Fellows Forum is at the heart of the Global Fellows Program, and represents an integral component in the Hauser Global Law School Program's "Turn to Scholarship" initiated in 2003. The primary mission of the Global Fellow Program is the production of publishable scholarship. In meeting throughout the year, the forum serves as an important vehicle for facilitating the achievement of that mission.

All Global Fellows, that is Global and Senior Global Research Fellows in addition to our Global Fellows from Practice and Government, attend a bi-weekly forum which serves as an important vehicle for facilitating the production of publishable scholarship. Our fora feature presentations of research by Global Fellows to an audience of other NYU School of Law fellows, faculty, and invited guests.  This provides an opportunity for fellows to gather, collaborate, share ideas and provide feedback in a supportive and intellectual environment. Below is a listing of our current year's forum.

*If you plan to attend any of the forums listed below, please RSVP three days before the event to: Globalvisitors@exchange.law.nyu.edu.*
