The Program in Law and Public Affairs (LAPA) invites outstanding faculty, independent scholars, lawyers, and judges to apply for appointments as resident Fellows for the academic year 2011-2012.

Each year, through its Fellows program, LAPA brings to Princeton world-class experts on the law. Successful candidates devote an academic year in residence at Princeton engaging in their own research and in the intellectual life of the campus.

For 2011-2012, LAPA will name up to four general LAPA Fellows who are engaged in substantial research on topics broadly related to law and public affairs or law and normative inquiry, plus one Microsoft/LAPA Fellow who specializes in intellectual property or the economic organization of society, and one Mellon/LAPA Fellow in Law and the Humanities.

All applicants must have a doctorate, JD or an equivalent professional postgraduate degree by the beginning of the fellowship.
