Former FBI Director James Comey is going to teach at Columbia University Law School in the coming spring semester.

Starting in January, Comey will be teaching a new seminar called “Lawyers and Leaders” as a senior research scholar, the university announced on its website. Comey’s hire is part of the Reuben Mark Initiative’s “Leader-in-Residence” Program, which invites leaders from government agencies, corporations, and law firms to teach classes and advise students at Columbia.
