Law Faculty Overview
Throughout its history, Carolina's law faculty has been its foundation. Forty-seven full-time professors conduct classes in a range of specialties. Some courses are traditional, others are brought to the curriculum in response to the changing world in which tomorrow's lawyers will function. Many of our faculty come to Carolina from public and private practice; others have combined the study of law with such disciplines as computer science, anthropology, history, theology, psychiatry, and philosophy.
Research conducted within the School of Law produces a rich body of publications - books, monographs, manuals, and articles in law reviews and other professional publications. Book topics span a range of topics, including tax law, ocean and coastal law, securities, corporate, banking law, housing, legal history, and evidence. Professors also participate in various local, regional, and national programs on continuing legal education sponsored by the School of Law and other organizations.
The law school's tenured faculty is enriched by visiting professors recruited each year to provide additional breadth in course offerings. A larger group of adjunct practitioners contributes to an extremely effective trial advocacy program.
