Faculty Research Interests
In general, any individual faculty member can effectively supervise only a very limited number of Supervised Research and Writing Projects, and only in areas in which a faculty member has special expertise. Typically, students will directly contact faculty members who teach in a subject area in which the student desires to undertake a Supervised Research and Writing Project. Please note only three credits worth of Supervised Research and Writing will be approved for any one student over the course of their law school career.
