Our Faculty
The Faculty at Columbia Law School is among the finest anywhere. Faculty members are committed to serious scholarship, and their work is at the forefront of developments in such areas as constitutional law, corporate and securities law, critical race theory, gender studies, human rights and public interest law, intellectual property law, international and comparative law, jurisprudence, law, science, and technology, as well as many other areas.
Columbia's faculty members value the diverse backgrounds of their students, as well as their formidable academic skills. Like the best students, outstanding faculty want to be challenged by perspectives and experiences other than their own. Columbia professors use their skill to stimulate students to think for themselves and to help students make their own original contributions to legal scholarship. There are many opportunities for students and faculty members to collaborate on research and to engage frequently in an informal sharing of ideas. The intellectual environment of the Law School is indeed a rich and creative one.
Columbia Law School is justifiably world renowned as a leader in scholarly research and a trailblazer in the development and application of legal theories and principles. In both traditional and emerging fields of law, Columbia professors are at the forefront of developing and interpreting legal issues and precedents of great consequence to society. But the Law School's overriding commitment continues to be as a teaching institution.
