Syracuse Law presents Faculty Workshops each year to convene leading scholars both internally and from other institutions. Addressing subjects from executive orders and government agencies to humanitarian law and medical patents, these workshops aim to broaden the horizons of legal scholarship, facilitate the sharing of ideas, and challenge how we think about the law and legal practice.
