Fellowships: VANDERBILT LAW SCHOOL

                        VANDERBILT LAW SCHOOL

                             Fellowships


     In recent years, Vanderbilt Law School has offered a one-
     year, paid fellowship to one or more highly qualified law
     graduates interested in law teaching. Fellows are provided
     highly competitive compensation and a faculty office and
     staff support. They are also invited to participate fully
     in the intellectual life of the law school by teaching
     substantive-law classes (on a reduced load) and
     participating in scholarly events such as workshops and
     lectures. Perhaps most importantly, fellows work closely
     with Vanderbilt's nationally renowned faculty to develop
     their own research in anticipation of seeking a tenure-
     track faculty position.


     QUALIFICATIONS:

     In part because the program has been highly selective, it
     has also been highly successful, with recent fellows
     securing offers of employment from the University of
     Minnesota, the University of Southern California,
     Washington University at St. Louis, and Vanderbilt.
     Applicants for a fellowship must have strong indicators of
     an aptitude for scholarship, including, for example, the
     publication of a note or article while in law school, or a
     graduate degree in an academic discipline in addition to a
     J.D.
