What Is the Best Way to Secure a Foreign Faculty Advisor?
Often HLS students are able to identify excellent foreign faculty advisors simply by determining who teaches the courses at the school abroad that are of the greatest interest to them. HLS professors and students (especially LLM and SJD students who have studied in other countries) can also suggest people who might be appropriate advisors. Once the student has identified one or more potential foreign faculty advisors, s/he should contact the professor to discuss the role and determine whether the professor would be an appropriate advisor.
