Thomas Jefferson School of Law is proud to have an experienced, caring and diverse faculty. The credentials of our faculty are first-rate. Our professors have structured business transactions at both the international and the domestic levels and litigated before the World Court at The Hague, the U.S. Supreme Court and federal and state trial and appellate courts. Their clients have ranged from the largest multi-national corporations to the most needy members of our society and virtually every type of client in between. Our faculty also have testified before Congress and the California legislature, have appeared as experts on national and local television news and radio broadcasts and have served as legal consultants to our government, the United Nations and several foreign governments.
Thomas Jefferson faculty members have developed regional, national and international reputations for their scholarly publications. Recent reports by the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) show that Thomas Jefferson faculty scholarship is among the most frequently downloaded from the list of law schools worldwide that post articles on the network.
The faculty has held top editorial positions at a number of notable legal journals, authored or edited numerous books and written more than 400 scholarly articles, including publications in journals at most of the nation's top law schools, as well as in places as far-away as Britain (Oxford University), France, Israel and Malaysia. In addition to traditional publications, faculty members have published in other languages such as French, Portuguese, and Chinese. Our faculty publications have appeared in traditional legal journals as well as cross-disciplinary fora, including the Journal of Legal Medicine, the Journal of Forensic Psychology Practice, the Endocrinologist, the Arab Studies Quarterly, Cardozo Studies in Law and Literature and the Journal of Law and Religion. Our faculty books and chapters are published by a range of leading academic presses, including Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York University, Foundation, Thomson-West, Carolina Academic, Rowman & Littlefield, Broadview, Ashgate, and ABC-CLIO, as well as publications by the United Nations and UNESCO.
Our faculty is producing a remarkably diverse range of cutting-edge legal scholarship that probes the most profound problems of legal theory and provides a pragmatic vision of law's usefulness to human society. This scholarship includes a pioneering study of the law's grapplings with intersexuality, analyses of workplace sexual harassment policies, the human and environmental casualties of war and genocide, the interplay of trademark, cyberspace and antitrust, and comprehensive studies of constitutional law old and new, and foreign and domestic.
All 40 members of our faculty are distinguished teachers and scholars who pride themselves on providing quality instruction and being accessible outside the classroom. In addition to meeting individually with students, faculty are engaged in all aspects of campus life from playing on the student-faculty softball team to attending the annual Barrister's Ball, a semi-formal event at which students honor the faculty with teaching awards.
