Hauser Research Scholars
PLEASE NOTE: The Hauser Research Scholars Program will be consolidated with the Global Fellows Program starting with the 2014-15 academic year. For more information regarding the Global Fellows Program, please click here.
The primary mission of the Hauser Research Scholars Program is to facilitate the production of original, publishable legal scholarship by junior academics at the beginning of their university careers. Our aim is to provide funding and support to such people so that they can dedicate themselves in an academic environment towards completing a significant scholarly project. The Hauser Global Law School Program plans to integrate the scholarly projects of Hauser Research Scholars with the work of colloquia, centers and seminars which are at the core of the intellectual life of the Law School.
