Global Faculty
The Global Law Faculty Program vastly expands NYU Law School's faculty by inviting leading law professors from around the world who teach regularly at NYU while retaining their affiliation with their home institutions. They specialize in diverse fields of law, not just international law, and are renowned scholars in their countries and areas of interest. Their courses provide an extraordinary opportunity for NYU students to learn from and interact with these eminent scholars and to gain a new perspective on important legal issues. Along with our Global Visitors and Hauser Scholars, the Global Law Faculty represent the heart of the Hauser Global Law School Program and a key element in the intellectual life of the Law School.
The generous size of the Global Law Faculty, more than a dozen per year, is a feature which distinguishes the Program from the practice at many other law schools of inviting a number of foreign faculty to visit during an academic year. Further, NYU School of Law's relationship with many global faculty is continuing and intimate over several years, rather than single one-semester or one-year arrangements. The global faculty are thereby integrated fully into the fabric of the Law School, both its academic programs and the collateral activities that largely define the institution.
