Profile

Corporate Governance Fellowship

The Fellow will be expected to conduct independent research leading to major academic journal or law review publication, and will receive support from faculty in developing and executing those projects. May be asked to engage in a mix of research and analysis under the supervision of Law School, and other affiliated faculty. Potential projects include research in the areas of: executive compensation, proxy voting, rating agencies, securities and corporate litigation, investment vehicle structures, Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) Issues, diversity on corporate boards, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the financial regulatory system. May assist in developing law school and/or course materials and educational materials for directors of publicly traded corporations, and help support research conferences and seminars.

Will report to the Managing Director, but will work under the direction of an assigned faculty member.
