Faculty & Scholarship
Since 1839, the MU law faculty has educated some of the most influential and accomplished lawyers in the state and around the world. Our outstanding faculty is comprised of superb teachers and scholars with national and international reputations. The MU Law Faculty is among the top 10% of American law schools in American Law Institute membership. Members of the faculty serve as Commissioners of the National Conference on Uniform State Law and as officers of the Association of American Law School. Several faculty have served as Fulbright Scholars. The faculty boasts a Missouri Governor’s Award for Teaching Excellence winner, multiple University Curators’ Professors and multiple winners of MU’s William T. Kemper Award for Faculty Excellence.
Equally outstanding as scholars, writings by MU’s Law Faculty have been cited by all levels of federal courts – including the United States Supreme Court -- as well as by the legislatures and supreme courts of several states. The faculty has been published in the most renowned law reviews in the country and more than ten faculty authored casebooks are used in law schools throughout the United States.
