Job Announcement
Every academic year, the Lawyering Program seeks several full-time, non-tenure-track Acting Assistant Professors to teach the two-semester course. Lawyering introduces first-year law students to legal analysis, fact development, legal research, legal writing, oral advocacy, and client counseling in transactional and litigation settings. The position offers an excellent opportunity to work with students in a cutting-edge simulation-based curriculum. The Lawyering Program provides significant support for faculty scholarship and preparation for entering the law teaching market; most Lawyering professors move into tenure-track teaching and other positions in academia. Qualifications include a J.D. or LL.B. degree, excellent academic record, bar admission, significant practice experience (three years minimum or two years plus a clerkship in special circumstances), and demonstrated ability in the capacities the course is designed to develop. The appointment is for one year (June 1 - May 31) with the possibility of renewal for two additional years. Salary information is available upon request. All applications must include resume, law school transcript (an unofficial copy is fine), one writing sample, three references (letters are preferred, but names and current e-mail and/or telephone contact information are acceptable), and cover letter. Electronic submissions are preferred. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Candidates are strongly encouraged to apply before October 1 in the year prior to a June 1 appointment, to:
