Faculty members serve as the dynamic force through which our graduates gain legal knowledge and learn essential skills: teamwork, communication, advocacy, leadership, and critical thinking.
Faculty need to be both specialists in core courses- which require an exceptional depth of knowledge, and versatile and effective teachers to develop the skills graduates need to be successful.
To attract and retain a diverse and much sought-after faculty, the School of Law must build and secure a competitive edge over law schools with far greater resources. To reach our goal of being in the top 75 law schools nationwide by 2025, we must increase the number of named professorships and endowed chairs to offer salaries and the travel and research funds necessary to compete with law schools with greater endowments.
