Global & Senior Global Research Fellows
Berkowitz Fellowship

General Information

The Berkowitz Fellowship was created thanks to a generous gift by Mr. Ivan Berkowitz. The Berkowitz Fellow is typically awarded to a more senior scholar who becomes part of the Global Visitors Program and intellectual community of the Global Research Fellows at NYU School of Law. The area of research is defined more broadly than that of the Gruss Scholar in Residence and can address issues from a broad spectrum of Jewish learning and civilization. The Fellowship will facilitate research and scholarship into areas that examine the historical, cultural and political forces that helped shape the intellectual atmosphere in which the integration of varying traditions of law into an operative jurisprudential system was affected.

The Scholar will become fully integrated with the intellectual community of the Law School, regularly attending event of both the Hauser Global Law School Program (in particular the Global Fellows Forum) and NYU School of Law in general, including the faculty colloquia and other similar events. The Berkowitz Fellow will present their research in progress on at least one occasion at the Global Fellows Forum which will be open to the intellectual community of the Law School, the University as a whole and other interested individuals by invitation.
