Faculty

Washington University School of Law's greatest strength is its faculty. Nationally and internationally recognized scholars in their respective fields, our faculty members are also genuinely committed to teaching. They make it a point to get to know their students and, with a student/faculty ratio of 13:1, there is a strong emphasis on individual attention. Whether you have questions about class discussions, want counseling on career options, or just want to chat, you are treated like a colleague.

Our full-time faculty also teach clinical and applied lawyering skills courses. The strength of many of the clinical skills courses is that they join the diverse backgrounds of our faculty with the talents of practicing lawyers and judges who teach as adjunct faculty members. This combination exposes students to a variety of experiences and views. Opportunities to work with faculty members as either a research assistant or as part of a supervised research program are also readily available.

Your relationship with our faculty will continue well beyond your years at Washington University.  Many of our faculty remain closely connected to law school alumni and actively participate in helping current students network with alumni in related fields.
