The Center for International Legal Studies,
in cooperation with law faculties in Eastern Europe and the
former republics of the Soviet Union, will offer short-term
appointments to as many as 100 senior lawyers from Common
Law countries in spring 2013 and autumn 2013.
A
“senior lawyer”
has at least 20 years of significant practice experience in
the area in which he or she proposes to lecture. The term of
teaching may be from two to six weeks and the length of
appointment and dates of teaching are subject to negotiation
between the appointee and the host university. The subject
areas are not limited, but there is special interest in
corporate and business law, intellectual property,
litigation, arbitration, and criminal procedure.
The
purpose of the seminars
will be to introduce particular areas of Common Law legal
systems to the law students and junior faculty of the host
university. These faculty appointments are
not
remunerated, and the appointee is responsible for his or her
travel. The host university will assist with lodging. A
one-week orientation seminar in Salzburg, Austria, is
mandatory prior to assumption of the appointment. Interviews
will be conducted in May and June 2012 via Skype video
conference.
Application Deadline - 15 June 2012
