The Texas Law faculty is a diverse collection of thinkers and scholars with one thing in common—they all love to teach.
World-class minds
Learn from the best.
Our professors are on the leading edge of the most important debates in American law. They write scholarship that everyone talks about. They write the books you’ll be learning from. They will be your teachers, your mentors, and your guides through the law school curriculum.

All of our faculty members possess an unwavering dedication to their students and their scholarship. These three are shaping the future of law and the courts in substantive ways and their love for teaching transforms the ordinary classroom into an inspired place where ideas flourish.

Lawrence Sager is one of the nation’s preeminent constitutional theorists and scholars. He has written and co-written dozens of articles, many of them now classics in the canon of legal scholarship and our understanding of the founding document. His expertise also encompasses philosophy, and he helps lead our Law & Philosophy Program.

With a focus on constitution-making and constitutional design, Richard Albert is one of the premier scholars of comparative constitutional law. He is a prolific author, editor, speaker, and an advisor to governments and parliaments on constitutional reform.
