Faculty Enrichment

The College of Law hosts a public lecture and faculty workshop series that allows faculty from inside and outside the school and interdisciplinary scholars to discuss works in progress that are relevant to law as a learned profession. In addition to engaging faculty at the highest levels, speakers frequently interact with students, including making presentations to classes in the environmental and international certificate programs. When available, workshop papers are posted online for access by participants.

Faculty workshops are open to FSU College of Law faculty and others by invitation. (If you are interested in attending an event, contact the designated host or Jim Rossi.) Lectures and symposia (designated below with an asterisk (*)) are law school wide events.
