This requires self-reliance, an entrepreneurial spirit, enthusiasm, and a willingness to collaborate. The fellowship is designed to be as much a learning as a teaching opportunity. Fellows will be placed at the finest legal institutions in China, where they will serve as junior faculty members and will have the chance to engage Chinese students and colleagues in discussion about American and comparative legal issues. While specific background in the Chinese legal system and Chinese language is not a prerequisite for this fellowship, desire to teach and live in a wholly foreign environment is. Fellowship recipients are provided Mandarin Chinese instruction and assigned one-year teaching positions at law schools in the People's Republic of China.
Fellows serve as junior faculty members for one academic year.
Interested in training prospective law teachers who will enhance the diversity of the profession and especially encourage applications from minority candidates. Strong interest in scholarship and teaching. Both fellows are expected to be in residence at the Harvard Law School for 12 months. Fellows will not be degree candidates. Funds are made available for the fellows to attend relevant conferences and workshops relating to the fellows' substantive areas of interest and law teaching.
