The Hauser Global Law School Program at NYU School of Law announces the establishment of The Mauro Cappelletti Global Fellowship in Comparative Law.
Mauro Cappelletti (1927-2004) was one of the giants of 20th Century comparative law. His work in comparative civil procedure, comparative constitutional law, Access to Justice, the sociology of law and European integration have left an indelible mark on their respective fields. This legacy lives on, too, through Professor Cappelletti's numerous students who occupy academic positions throughout the world, including New York University School of Law.
The Mauro Cappelletti Global Fellowship in Comparative Law necessitates the same conditions of application as the Global Research Fellowship but will specifically be awarded to one candidate whose research proposal falls into the field of comparative constitutional law, comparative civil procedure, Access to Justice, the sociology of law or European integration. Please note that the Mauro Capelletti Global Fellowship in Comparative Law is an additional honorary title only to be awarded to an admitted Global Fellow at the sole discretion of the selection committee, and does not confer any separate financial award or funding.
