Law Fellows Program - Each year the College of Law invites members of other faculties, practitioners, and jurists to visit the school as a College Fellow. Fellows are invited to be in residence for a mutually convenient period of time and to participate actively in the intellectual life of the College of Law by presenting their scholarship to the Law School community or making a presentation on issues of mutual interest. Invitations to be Law School Fellows are made by the dean upon recommendation of individual faculty members or the directors or coordinators of the College of Law’s research centers and institutes. Fellows have access to Law School facilities (including the Law School’s LaValley Law Library and other libraries at The University of Toledo) so that they can conduct research while in residence. Fellows may audit Law School courses on a non-credit basis with the permission of the course instructor and, from time to time, may consult with other faculty members interested in their fields of study. The College of Law usually arranges a number of informal functions for Fellows to enable them to interact with members of the College and University communities. College of Law Fellows do not have faculty status nor is there a stipend. Depending on mutual interest, there are possibilities to teach courses as an adjunct faculty member. Resources permitting, the College of Law will endeavor to provide access to office space, telephones, photocopying, and Westlaw/Lexis.
