THE UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE SCHOOL OF LAW  invites applications for a clinical teaching fellowship in the Mediation Clinic for Families (MCF) to start on or about July 1, 2022.  This full-time, year-round, 3-year public interest fellowship program offers superb mentorship and training as the Fellow transitions from law practice to law faculty, providing intensive support in the areas of clinical pedagogy, academic writing, and more. The MCF Fellow will join a cohort of approximately nine Fellows, each of whom teaches in a different clinic; many former Fellows have moved into long-term teaching positions at other institutions after completing their fellowship. Because we value the diversity of our faculty and student body, we welcome all qualified candidates, including members of communities that are traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession and academia. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

This posting is specifically for the Mediation Clinic for Families (MCF) fellowship, although fellowships in other areas of practice may also be available; each position has its own application portal.  MCF provides services relating to mediation and collaborative lawyering. MCF students serve as mediators with pro se parties in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City and other fora. MCF students also provide limited representation to low-income parties in mediation in conjunction with a pro bono lawyer and pro bono mediator.  The Fellow's duties include guiding and supporting law students as they engage mediation-related services; co-teaching a weekly seminar, which includes both MCF and other students interested in mediation; collaborating with other dispute resolution professionals to enable students to assist in projects that facilitate the growth of dispute resolution in local, state, national, and international settings.  During winter and summer breaks in the academic calendar, when students are not enrolled in the MCF, the Fellow also covers client matters, including matters for other clinics that are within the Fellow’s expertise; handles additional MCF and clinical program duties as assigned; and develops their academic writing.  The Fellow will also be given an opportunity to explore teaching as a long-term profession and will join UB’s community of other law teachers and Fellows within our Clinical Program and the School of Law.  
 
This position is a full-time, year-round contractual appointment for three years. Because MCF serves evening students, the Fellow should have flexibility to meet with students in evenings.    
For more details about the Fellows’ Program and the Mediation Clinic for Families, please view our website at http://law.ubalt.edu/template.cfm?page=541/ and https://law.ubalt.edu/clinics/familymediation.cfm.
 
We look forward to receiving your required electronic application, including a letter of interest, resume, and a brief statement about how your candidacy would support traditionally underrepresented communities in the legal profession and academia.
 
Qualifications: Substantial experience as a mediator; excellent oral and written communication skills; a commitment to work for low-income clients; and a strong interest in teaching. A background in family law is preferred but not required. The Fellow must be a member of the Maryland Bar or become administratively certified to practice law in Maryland.
 
Salary: The current salary is $67,000. The position includes full benefits, including retirement, research support (for example, research assistant support and/or book allowance), and a travel allowance to attend relevant conferences and workshops. Candidates may qualify for tuition remission, depending on individual circumstances. Candidates interested in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program are encouraged to investigate whether employment at The University of Baltimore, a state educational institution, may qualify.

THE UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE SCHOOL OF LAW invites applications for a fellowship to start on or about July 1, 2022, in the University of Baltimore Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic.  This full-time, year-round, 3-year public interest fellowship program, offers superb mentorship and training as Fellows transition from law practice to law faculty, providing intensive support in areas of pedagogy, academic writing, and more.  Many former Fellows are now in long-term teaching positions at other institutions.  (https://law.ubalt.edu/clinics/docs/080421%20Fellow%20alumni%20for%20webpage.pdf).  Because we value the diversity of our faculty and student body, we welcome all qualified candidates including members of communities that are traditionally under-represented in the legal profession and academia. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. 

This posting is specifically for the Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC), although, Fellowship positions for other areas of practice may be available as well.  The Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic provides education, advocacy, and representation to low-income taxpayers.  It educates taxpayers as to their rights and responsibilities as taxpayers, identifies and advocates issues that disparately effect low-income taxpayers, and represents them in federal tax disputes and related state tax matters.  Its cases involve administrative controversies before the Internal Revenue Service and litigation in federal courts.  Students serve as first-chair attorneys under the guidance and support of law school faculty, including the Fellow.  Typical student work includes arguing innocent spouse applications, preparing audit reconsiderations, briefing, and appearing in collection matters (including Collection Due Process hearings and offers in compromise), and handling cases in Tax Court, including appearing at U.S. Tax Court calendar calls and volunteering for settlement days.  Additional student work may include occasional outreach, such as educational presentations, to low-income taxpayers and community partners.       
 
The Fellow’s duties include direct supervision of clinic students’ client, case, and community education work; co-teaching a weekly clinic seminar; engaging in course planning and preparation with the other faculty members in the Clinic, including LITC Director, Melinda Dunmire; and facilitating and participating in community outreach and education.  During the winter and summer breaks in the academic year, the Fellow will cover client matters, continue with outreach and education as scheduled, handle additional clinical program duties as assigned, and develop their academic writing.  

This position is a full-time, year-round, contractual appointment for three years.  Because the LITC serves evening students, the Fellow will teach at least one evening each week during the fall and spring semesters, with daytime hours adjusted accordingly.   

The Fellowship focuses its first year on the skills of teaching, from crafting and leading seminars, to facilitating supervision meetings with student-attorneys. The second year of the fellowship focuses on developing legal scholarship. The third year, we support the Fellow to go on the clinical teaching job market if they so choose. For more details about the Fellows’ Program, please view our website at http://law.ubalt.edu/clinics/fellows/
 
Qualifications:  Two or more years of experience as a practicing lawyer, primarily in the field of tax controversy; exceptional oral and written communication skills; a demonstrated interest in working for low-income clients; and an interest in mentoring and teaching. Fellows must be members of the Maryland Bar, willing to become members of the Bar, or qualified to obtain a certification of authorization to practice for out-of-state supervising attorneys under Maryland Rules 19-218 and 19-220.  The Fellow must also be a member of the bar of the U.S. Tax Court or able to seek admission to the bar of the U.S. Tax Court and willing to complete the necessary documentation to be permitted by the Internal Revenue Service to supervise law practice by students.
 
Salary:  The current salary is $67,000.  The position includes full benefits, including retirement plan. Benefits are listed here (see under “Faculty and Regular Employees”): https://www.ubalt.edu/about-ub/offices-and-services/human-resources/benefits/index.cfm.  The position also includes research support, and a travel allowance to attend relevant conferences and workshops.  Candidates in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program are encouraged to investigate whether employment at the University of Baltimore, a state educational institution, may qualify.   
 
We look forward to receiving your required electronic application, including a letter of interest, resume, and brief statement about how your candidacy would support traditionally underrepresented communities in the legal profession and academia.   
 
The position is open until filled, and required electronic applications received by March 1, 2022, will receive priority consideration.  For more details about the Fellows’ Program, please view our website at https://law.ubalt.edu/clinics/fellows/
