Cleveland-Marshall Enrichment Fund Scholars

The Cleveland-Marshall Visiting Scholar program, created in 1974, brings a scholar to the Law College for two days during which s/he participates in the life of the school. S/he is a guest professor in a substantive course, leads a faculty seminar on her/his current research, makes an informal presentation at a faculty lunch, and presents a public lecture. Often the scholar’s public lecture forms the basis of an article that is published in the Cleveland State Law Review.
