With more than two hundred full-time professors, and adjuncts recruited from the ranks of elite legal practice, Georgetown Law has one of the largest law faculties in the nation.
Our professors represent an extraordinary range of scholarly achievement. Preeminent in the fields of constitutional, international, and tax law, as well as clinical legal education, Georgetown faculty have also made their mark in administrative law, antitrust, law and economics, civil rights, corporate law and securities regulation, commercial law, criminal law, environmental law, health law, intellectual property, jurisprudence, legal history, litigation, national security law, and privacy and technology law.
But our faculty are not just of the academy; they are also of the world. They practice what they teach, writing briefs, arguing cases, and advising on some of the greatest legal issues of the day. Many have served in the highest levels of government. Though their experiences and backgrounds are diverse, Georgetown faculty are united by a commitment to providing an intellectually exciting, rigorous, and practical education for their students.
