Every faculty member of the Department of Legal Studies holds a juris doctor degree, and several faculty also hold an advanced degree in law, such as a master of laws or doctorate. In addition, our faculty members have practiced law in the public or private sector before teaching at UCF. The majority are currently licensed to practice law in Florida. They are authorized by the Florida Bar to render legal advice and provide legal representation in Florida.
UCF Legal Studies is fortunate to have world-class faculty members who conduct scholarship in various topical areas, such as immigration and criminal law, environmental pollution, drone warfare, military rulings, and psychological issues with child witnesses.
Our faculty have numerous publications in prestigious law journals. They have spoken all over the world at conferences and seminars. They conduct research, apply for grants and further the legal conversation.
