• THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA COLLEGE OF LAW, SAN FRANCISCO is hiring adjunct professors. The University of California College of Law, San Francisco(“College” or “UC Law SF”) was founded in 1878 as the law department of the University of California and was the first law school in California. UC Law SF serves society as a center of higher learning committed to exceptional teaching, influential scholarship, and exemplary public service. We provide a rigorous, innovative, and inclusive legal education that prepares diverse students to excel as professionals, advance the rule of law, and further justice.

  UC Law SF Adjunct Professors reflect the rich array of opportunities available to our students upon graduation. They include judges, regulators, partners at leading plaintiff and defense firms, corporate and in-house counsel, prosecutors and public defenders, arbitrators and mediators, and directors of legal services organizations. They serve as instructors and as bridges to practice for our students who look to them as role models and sources of inspiration. Many UC Law SF Adjunct Professors are graduates of UC Law SF.

  UC Law SF is particularly interested in receiving applications from adjunct faculty candidates who reflect the breadth and diversity of the legal profession in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are also open to hiring judges and practitioners who are not located in the Bay Area but who might be able to teach classes online, though we are an in-person program and strongly prefer to offer instruction in person on our campus, which is located in the Civic Center in San Francisco.

In addition, we hope to expand our upper division criminal law offerings, including policing and accountability, comparative criminal law, and factual investigation.
