Westerfield Fellows Program
Westerfield Fellows Program, this program is designed for individuals pursuing a career in law teaching and seeking to gain law teaching experience, while being afforded time to devote to scholarly writing and publication. Fellows are responsible for teaching legal reasoning, legal research, legal writing, and oral advocacy skills to first-year law students in two, two-hour classes each semester. Fellows teach their own classes, but have the benefit of working under the guidance of an experienced director in a program in which the director and fellows coordinate the content and pace of the courses. Fellows also have a student teaching assistant to assist them with their courses.
To foster their development as scholars and teachers, fellows are given faculty mentors who teach and write in the fellows’ areas of interest. Past fellows have gone on to secure tenure-track teaching positions at law schools across the United States.
