Meet the Newest Bruce R. Jacob Visiting Assistant Professors
The Stetson Law community is excited to welcome two individuals to the faculty as part of its Bruce R. Jacob Visiting Assistant Professor (VAP) Program. Named for celebrated Dean Emeritus Bruce R. Jacob, this program invites aspiring academics to gain full-time teaching experience while benefiting from extensive mentorship and support from tenured faculty.
Over the program’s typically two-year period, these visiting professors are invited to produce meaningful scholarship while immersing themselves in Stetson Law’s vibrant campus community.
In fall of 2025, two scholars begin their time as Bruce R. Jacob Visiting Assistant Professors: Babafemi Fatade and Andrew Milne.
Babafemi Fatade
Prior to joining Stetson Law, Fatade was an assistant professor of Lawyering at NYU School of Law. As a practitioner prior to entering academia, Fatade worked as a commercial attorney at Tennessee Valley Authority.
He received his JD from Georgetown University Law Center and his BA in philosophy from Georgia State University. He served as the administrative editor for the Georgetown Journal of Law and Modern Critical Race Perspectives while in law school and served as a student instructor for Georgetown’s Street Law practicum.
Fatade’s current research interest lies at the intersection of pre-contractual promissory reliance and the impracticability doctrine.
Andrew Milne
Prior to joining Stetson Law as a Bruce R. Jacob Visiting Assistant Professor, Professor Milne taught as a visiting assistant professor at Suffolk University and as a clinical teaching fellow in the Civil Practice Clinic at South Texas College of Law. Following his graduation from New York University School of Law in 2012, he had over eleven years of practice, focusing on poverty law and disability rights.
As a staff attorney at Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid, he handled a wide variety of civil and criminal matters on behalf of vulnerable populations in rural counties. He also conducted statewide litigation to protect the rights of individuals in psychiatric, nursing, juvenile, and carceral facilities while working at Disability Rights Center – New Hampshire.
Other faculty members that have joined Stetson faculty this fall include two new full-time professors as well as four visiting professors and one returning professor emerita.
