At Emory Law, we strive to ensure our students have access to some of the leading legal scholars from the U.S. and from around the world – providing you with numerous opportunities to work closely with leading experts both inside and outside the classroom. Because of our excellent faculty-student ratio, we can foster closer interactions among students and faculty, creating a lively intellectual environment.
Emory Law faculty members come to the classroom with extensive, real-world experience. They have clerked for federal judges, practiced law for the government, the public interest sector, and in private firms. They often are called upon to provide testimony and expertise in courtrooms, legislatures, Congress, and before various agencies and organizations.
Our faculty members are renowned for their innovative and dynamic teaching, and they are published in leading law reviews, in books, and in textbooks.
At Emory Law, our faculty will help you realize your goals and will push you to explore new opportunities. They will be your teachers, your partners, and your mentors as you learn and grow during your three years here.

“Being a professor at Emory is a privilege – being able to learn and discover and make a difference in the lives of students. Our hope is that we can expose them to the myriad ways to use their legal training.
“In every single class I learn something from my students, even in courses I’ve taught for twenty-five years. Each group of students approaches the subjects slightly differently. I would take a group of my students and put them up against any law students in the country.”
