Professor, if a canadate cannot physically travel to Washington D.C would they be willing to do everything from a different location through a video call?

Can you become a law professor with a master’s degree in law ?

[@Learnlawbetter]

The minimum requirement is a JD or an LLB if you are from another country. In very rare circumstances, a law school might hire a non-lawyer to teach classes. For example, when I was a student, one of my profs had a PhD in some discipline outside of law-political science I think. But again, there are very few people like this, and likely only at extremely large law schools.

Hello sir I'm from India and I did my phd in law on the topic juvenile delinquency a socio legal aspect how can i become assistant professor in America?

[@Learnlawbetter]

If you go to AALS.org you will find the information for applying through their process. Applications are due in July or August, and then law schools reach out to candidates for a first interview. They will want to see published articles and an impressive record up to this point. This could mean judicial clerkships or significant experience of some sort.

Why the lack of an eye?

[@Learnlawbetter]

Born that way. I’ve always joked with my mother that maybe she drank a beer at the wrong time :)

Sir im from india and doing integrated llb from national law school. Am i able to being a law professor in us after completing llm and phd.

[@Learnlawbetter]

US law school positions are extremely competitive. Generally, fewer than 100 open positions a year. But yes, a PhD will help, especially if it’s not in law. This is because some law schools are looking for interdisciplinary scholars.

@@Learnlawbetter ooh yes Thankyou sir for your time.Im planning to do my prossgraduation and phd in political science and international relations. Is that beneficial for me. Anyway once again thankyou so much sir. Will pray for you 😍

[@Learnlawbetter]

Each law school is different and makes decisions as to their hiring priorities. Evidence of scholarly impact is established when you have published articles before applying for a job.

Why does the AALS logo look like a mix of the Umbrella Corp logo and the BOYLOVE logo

[@mariajew]

Hello! Have you read all those heavy books behind you? O_O I am not really into reading but have interests in studying law. Do you think I can survive? :( Thanks!

[@Learnlawbetter]

The law is found in thousands of books, with lawyers reading very little of it. The books are reference for when we need the law. That’s why law libraries are so large, and many books never opened.

[@mariajew]

@@Learnlawbetter Thank you so much! Your answer is perfect for me to realize the purposes of those books. I learned something today. Thank you so much for guiding people like me who are confused. You'd be a great professor! :)
