Faculty Speaker Series

The Legal Theory Workshop Series and the Internal Speaker Talks

Miami Law provides an intensely engaged laboratory for discussion of faculty works-in-progress. We are proud to say that our Legal Theory Workshops feature a diverse range of distinguished scholars discussing their innovative legal scholarship over a range of topics. Our Internal Speaker Talks focus inward, on the germinating works of our own faculty colleagues. These and other elements of Miami Law’s scholarly engagements demonstrate a commitment to a rich and inclusive intellectual life.
