    THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA CAREY LAW SCHOOL, a national leader in clinical legal education for nearly 45 years, seeks to appoint a full-time faculty member to its Practice Professor track to begin July 1, 2022.

    This is a practice professor track position, which is Penn Law’s equivalent of clinical tenure track.  Practice Professors are eligible to receive research funds during the academic year and may also apply for summer financial support for scholarly research. Upon successful review, clinicians are promoted to the position of full Practice Professor and awarded five-year presumptively renewable contracts.  Both entry-level and lateral candidates are encouraged to apply to us. 

    We seek candidates from a variety of practice areas and a full range of teaching experiences. We are interested in vibrant candidates with strong practice experience, distinguished academic and professional achievement, dynamic teaching and supervisory skills, and a deep commitment to clinical legal education, teamwork, and collegiality. We seek someone who will help us build new and innovative clinics at Penn Law that are responsive to emerging professional and societal needs. Ideal candidates may have creative ideas about new clinics or may fill existing gaps in our curriculum. Though we are looking broadly, some areas of interest include civil rights, community lawyering, criminal justice, dispute resolution, environmental law and justice, and technology and law. Please note that this list is not exhaustive nor should it discourage applicants who have interests in other areas of practice.  

    We are looking for a faculty colleague who is passionate about teaching and mentoring students to become outstanding lawyers. The ideal candidate will be creative and thoughtful with a focus on student development, law reform, and advancement of the profession. The prime directive of Penn Law’s clinics is to place students in the lead role of providing legal services, under close faculty supervision. Successful candidates will present an inspiring vision for their clinical model, embracing Penn’s prime directive. We value diversity of life experience, perspectives, and approaches to lawyering. The ultimate goal is to educate law students to be skilled, reflective, and ethical practitioners. We look forward to welcoming a new colleague who will help us grow our program for the next generation of Penn Law graduates. 

    Review of applicants will begin in October and continue until the position is filled. To express your interest, please submit a C.V., cover letter, and 1-2 page description of the clinic you hope to teach at Penn Law School through Interfolio. If you have questions about accessing or using Interfolio, please contact Megan Hackett at hackett2@law.upenn.edu. Any other questions can be sent to Deputy Dean for Clinical Education Praveen Kosuri at pkosuri@law.upenn.edu.  

    Penn Law strongly encourages applicants who would help our university continue to build a diverse, inclusive, and equitable academic community to apply. 

    Penn Law School’s endowed clinical program, the Gittis Legal Clinics, is home to nine in-house clinics covering appellate practice, civil litigation, child advocacy, criminal defense, entrepreneurship and community economic development, immigration and human rights, intellectual property, legislation, and mediation.

    Texas A&M University School of Law is again hiring!

    We seek to advance our academic programs by recruiting multiple faculty candidates for full time, tenure and renewable contract positions for August 2022.

    Since integrating with Texas A&M University in 2013, the law school (located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex) has sustained a remarkable institutional trajectory, as evidenced by significant growth in the size, diversity, and scholarly impact of our faculty; dramatic gains in the academic profile of our incoming students; and resulting advances in the school’s rank and reputation.

    Every student who graduates from Texas A&M University School of Law is required to complete a clinic or an externship, with more than 70% of our students opting for a clinic. Our clinical program has ten clinic offerings that are primarily taught by full-time clinicians who hold either tenure or long-term contract positions. The clinics range widely in subject matter and variously involve litigation, transactions, and policy. Some of our clinics also collaborate with Cook Children’s Hospital to provide legal assistance through our Medical Legal Partnership. You can read more about our clinics here.

    We are particularly interested in recruiting outstanding clinicians who are excited by the opportunity to engage in scholarship, teaching, and/or policy work at the highest level, at one of the nation’s largest public universities. We are considering candidates to incorporate into existing clinics or start new ones.

    GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY LAW CENTER is hiring a Clinical Teaching Fellow for its Domestic Violence Clinic.  

    To apply: Please complete the Women's Law & Public Policy Fellowship Program application (https://www.law.georgetown.edu/wlppfp/wlppfp-us-fellowships/application/) and submit it to BOTH the Domestic Violence Clinic (dvclinic@law.georgetown.edu) and the Women’s Law and Public Policy Fellowship Program (wlppfp@law.georgetown.edu)

    DESCRIPTION

    The Georgetown University Law Center’s Domestic Violence Clinic hires one person to serve as a clinical teaching fellow and supervising attorney each year, for a two-year term. Fellows have several areas of responsibility, including: representing survivors of family abuse in CPO cases; designing and teaching Clinic seminar classes; and supervising third-year law students in their representation of clients. Throughout the program, fellows receive extensive supervision and training on their litigation skills, providing them with a substantial opportunity to improve as litigators. The fellowship experience is also designed to develop fellows’ skills as clinical law professors and launch them on a career in clinical law teaching; all of our fellows who have sought teaching jobs over the past decade or more have successfully obtained a teaching position.

    Clinic fellows also pursue a program of graduate study, through a seminar course on clinical pedagogy, taught collectively by the Georgetown clinical faculty. (Fellows also may audit regular law school courses). In addition, during the first year of the program, fellows are members of the Women’s Law and Public Policy Fellowship Program, where they have an opportunity to collaborate with lawyers doing a variety of women’s rights legal work in Washington, D.C., and to meet with Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, and other long-time leaders in the feminist legal community.

    Preference will be given to applicants who have a background or demonstrated interest in family law, domestic violence, or poverty law and who have some trial practice experience. Applicants must have excellent oral and written advocacy skills, and must be admitted to a Bar at the time of submitting their application. Any fellow who is offered the position and is not a member of the D.C. Bar must apply for admission by waiver immediately following acceptance.

    Description of the Clinic

    Students in the Domestic Violence Clinic represent victims of all forms of domestic abuse in civil protection order (“CPO”) cases in D.C. Superior Court. The Clinic provides students with an intensive, challenging education in the art of trial advocacy, extensive hands-on experience with family law and poverty lawyering, and the opportunity to alleviate a crucial community need for legal representation. Through course work and client representation, students are exposed to every phase of expedited civil litigation. Students also learn to navigate the criminal justice system by working, in cases where it is consistent with their client’s wishes, with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in prosecutions against those accused of abusing Clinic clients.

    Students litigate to obtain CPOs that last for up to one year and can include a broad spectrum of relief designed to effectively end the violence in a family or dating relationship. For example, a judge may direct a person causing harm to cease assaulting and threatening the victim; to stay away from the victim’s home, person and workplace; and not to contact the victim in any manner. The judge may award temporary custody of the parties’ minor children, with visitation rights for the non-custodial parent, and award child and/or spousal support. Finally, each semester students develop a group project focused on improving law, policy, or community education, that is designed to expose them to alternatives beyond direct client litigation for pursuing social justice for their client base.

    In the Clinic seminar, faculty and fellows provide intensive instruction to Clinic students on a wide variety of topics, including the civil, family, criminal, evidentiary and ethical laws and rules applicable to domestic violence litigation, the psychological dynamics of intimate partner violence, trauma-informed lawyering, storytelling, and the importance of empathy. In class, students participate in exercises designed to develop and refine essential litigation skills such as conducting direct and cross examinations, delivering opening statements and closing arguments, introducing exhibits into evidence, and conducting negotiations.

    Application Process

    Please complete the Women's Law & Public Policy Fellowship Program   application (https://www.law.georgetown.edu/wlppfp/wlppfp-us-fellowships/application/)and submit it to BOTH the Domestic Violence Clinic (dvclinic@law.georgetown.edu) and the Women’s Law and Public Policy Fellowship Program (wlppfp@law.georgetown.edu).

    Applications must be submitted by Friday, November 12, 2021.

    The fellowship begins in early July 2022, and, following a two-year term, terminates in June 2024.

    To apply: http://m.rfer.us/STANFORD2LUFxk

    DESCRIPTION

    Clinical Supervising Attorney, Racial Justice Project, and Lecturer in Law

    School of Law, Stanford, California, United States

    Schedule: Full-time

    Job Code: 1322

    Employee Status: Fixed-Term

    Grade: H99

    Requisition ID: 91175

    The Mills Legal Clinic of the Stanford Law School invites applicants for a Racial Justice Project Clinical Supervising Attorney (CSA) position. The Racial Justice CSA will be responsible for developing a new racial justice clinical offering for law students within the Clinic. The CSA will serve as a Lecturer in Law, joining the thriving clinical community at Stanford Law School. The position is a two-year fixed-term position, with a potential for extension to a third year. We seek candidates with deep experience in racial justice advocacy and policy making.

    The Racial Justice Project in the Mills Legal Clinic

    The Racial Justice Project is a new initiative of the Mills Legal Clinic, comprised of ten distinct clinics, many of which engage deeply in racial justice work. The Racial Justice CSA will build on the dockets and advocacy priorities of these clinics, including the Youth and Education Law Project, Community Law Clinic, Immigrants' Rights Clinic, and Criminal Defense Clinic. The Racial Justice CSA's focus will be on developing, managing, and executing a campaign-based advocacy strategy centering racial justice, engaging with the Clinic's existing community partners, and drawing on a range of advocacy modalities. While the Racial Justice CSA's project will spring from the ongoing work of our clinics, the CSA will have the flexibility and responsibility to build on that work and find synergies among our clinics to focus on a specific racial justice initiative that binds and transcends the work of the clinics. The Racial Justice CSA will identify how the work of two or preferably more of our clinics can be tied together to advance a specific substantive racial justice strategy.

    The Racial Justice Project within the Mills Legal Clinic will be open to advanced clinical students (students who have already completed a full-time clinical quarter). Stanford Law's clinical program is unique in that students first participate in a clinic on a full-time basis; the clinic is the only course a student takes during the term of enrollment. After this full-time quarter, students may enroll in the clinic as advanced students.

    The Mills Legal Clinic is committed to ensuring diversity, equity, and inclusion in all of its office and practice management, advocacy, and teaching and learning efforts. The Mills Legal Clinic occupies an entire floor in an award-winning, central-campus building opened in summer 2011.

    Candidate Qualifications

    The Racial Justice CSA will supervise law students, lead student group (rounds) discussions, and participate in various community collaborations. The Racial Justice CSA will have primary responsibility for the development and management of a campaign-based strategy centering racial justice. The CSA will supervise SLS students in all aspects of their clinic work, including coaching and mentoring students who have primary responsibility over their matters. Mills Legal Clinic attorneys are part of the intellectual community within the clinical program and the Law School and university at large. The clinic provides resources for its lawyers to participate in continuing education and other professional development activities. Finally, the Racial Justice CSA will be a part of the Mills Legal Clinic's efforts to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion in our teaching, practice management, and advocacy work. The Racial Justice CSA will report to Associate Dean Jayashri Srikantiah and the clinic director whose subject matter focus is closest to the campaign-based strategy developed by the CSA.

    Qualified applicants for the Racial Justice CSA position should have:

    • Significant experience in multi-modal advocacy work to advance racial justice, including policy analysis and advocacy; collaboration with community partners; and litigation.
    • Superior writing, editing, and verbal skills.
    • Strong academic credentials.
    • Sound judgment and exceptional ethical standards.
    • Excellent teamwork, collaboration, and teambuilding skills.
    • Strong interest in and demonstrated potential for successful teaching and student supervision, including previous experience in a clinical legal setting, the direct supervision and mentoring of junior attorneys, or similar experience.
    • Strong organizational / management skills, attention to detail and self-motivation, and an aptitude for law practice and clinic management.
    • Admission to practice in California or eligibility and willingness to sit for the next California Bar exam

    The salary is based on a formula that is competitive with similar positions.

    The Application Process
