Faculty

There is a common perception of law school as a rigid institution with inaccessible professors and ruthlessly competitive students. This simply isn’t the case at Mercer. We hold ourselves to a much higher standard, and it starts with a faculty of nationally renowned legal scholars who are here for one reason—to teach.

A Personalized Approach
With 34 full-time law professors and nearly 33 adjunct faculty members, Mercer’s student-to-faculty ratio of 12:1 is among the very lowest of ABA accredited law schools.

An Open Door Policy
The first time you walk through the Walter F. George Law School building, you will find professors’ office doors open. You will see them speaking with students in offices, classrooms, and hallways about issues ranging from complex legal topics to upcoming weekend plans.

A Spirit of Service
As a student at Mercer you will likely find yourself working alongside distinguished professors in service to the community, co-curricular activities such as the Law Review, and moot court and client counseling competitions.

A Collegial Atmosphere
Nothing satisfies our professors more than watching bright, motivated individuals evolve over the course of their three years at Mercer and make the transition from student to colleague.
