Global Fellows from Practice & Government
Global Fellows from Practice & Government are government officials, judges, and lawyers in private practice who wish to take a semester or academic year away from their posts to engage in serious scholarship.This Global Fellows Program category was created in recognition of the fact that legal practitioners in mid-career can replenish and pursue their legal research interests.
The Global Fellows from Practice & Government are actively integrated into the Law School community through various academic and social programs, including the Global Fellows Forums where they are required to present their research. By the conclusion of their semester or year in residency, all Global Fellows from Practice & Government will have produced a major publishable piece of scholarly work and a report on their experience in the Global Fellows Program.
