Description
Stanford Law School offers three specialized LLM programs to international students who have practiced law outside the U.S. The corporate governance program admits approximately 20 students annually. Working under the supervision of Prof. Michael Klausner, the Faculty Director of the program, the Teaching Fellow in corporate governance will assume significant academic, advising and administrative responsibilities for these students. Applicants are sought for a two-year commitment, starting in August 2014, with the possibility of a third-year by mutual agreement.

The Teaching Fellow will be responsible for teaching two courses: One on corporate law from an economics perspective; and another on corporate law practice. The latter course would include outside speakers from practice. The fellow will also organize other academic and social events, and will be responsible for managing the corporate governance LLM program on a day-to-day basis, advising LLM students on academic and career issues, responding to inquiries from prospective LLM applicants, screening and admitting applicants, and interacting with faculty in support of the LLM program goals and needs. The fellow will have the support of and work with the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs, the Executive Director of the International Law Programs, and the Associate Dean for Admissions. Although this is a full time position, the fellow should have a reasonable amount of time to conduct his or her own research, and will have ready access to faculty for that purpose.
