The Forrester Fellow Program
Tulane Law School invites applications for one or more full-time Forrester Fellow positions in its first-year Legal Research & Writing program. Typically, Forrester Fellows are recent law school graduates with a strong interest in teaching and scholarship. Fellows are appointed for one-year terms with the possibility of a single one-year renewal. In extraordinary cases, a Fellow may be considered for a long-term contract.
Legal Research & Writing is a year-long, four-credit course that introduces students to the fundamentals of legal analysis, writing, research, citation, and advocacy. Forrester Fellows teach two small sections of approximately 25 to 30 students and are assisted by four upper-class teaching assistants. The content of the program is coordinated by the Director of Legal Research & Writing.
Applicants must have a JD, excellent academic credentials, a strong writing background, and at least two years of legal practice or other law-related experience. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, law school transcript, two letters of recommendation, and a writing sample to Erin Donelon, Director, Legal Research & Writing, Tulane Law School, 6329 Freret Street, Room 155-C, New Orleans, LA 70118.
