Fellowships
Finding time to produce scholarship while working full-time as a lawyer can be a difficult challenge. Law schools are increasingly offering one or two-year fellowships that afford prospective candidates an opportunity to research, write, receive mentoring from senior faculty, and soak up the atmosphere of a law faculty. Some of these carry teaching obligations (which itself can be a valuable experience and an aid in obtaining a full-time position, provided you get your writing done). Following is a partial list of Fellowships and Visiting Assistant Professorships (VAPs):
