Since our doors opened in 1872, we have admitted and enrolled accomplished students to our program regardless of their race, gender, and religion.  The breadth and depth of our curriculum and scholarship as well as our innovative spirit are distinctive in American legal education. 

    Boston University School of Law invites applications for the position of Clinical Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Externship Program. This position is a full-time non-tenure track clinical faculty position with a projected start date of July 1, 2024.

    The externship program is an important feature of Boston University School of Law. The externship program provides over 130 second and third-year law students annually with the opportunity to gain academic credit while working under the supervision of practicing attorneys or judges. Boston’s vibrant legal community offers a vast array of placements in diverse practice areas, including affordable housing, biotech, criminal law, education, environmental law, health law, intellectual property, and microfinance. The externship program has grown substantially over recent years, and the Director will play a significant role in shaping its future direction and development.

    The Director of the Externship Program will be responsible for teaching as well as coordination of all aspects of the operation and development of the externship program.

    The primary responsibilities include:

    • Teaching at least one seminar per semester, serving as instructor of record for all externship courses, and overseeing all New York Pro Bono Scholars.

    • Training and evaluation of field placement supervisors overseeing law students in the externship program.
    • Recruiting and hiring part-time faculty to teach in the externship program;
    • Maintaining and developing externship opportunities in Boston and beyond, including building relationships with field placement supervisors and recruiting new potential host sites.
    • Evaluating student outcomes to guide the future direction of the externship program and determine how to best meet the needs of the law school, student demand, and current legal employment needs.
    • Providing substantial assistance, comprised of pedagogical, syllabus development, and other advice to externship instructors with respect to both existing and new externship courses;
    • Coordinating with the Associate Dean for Experiential Learning, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and the Registrar’s Office to assemble and publish the externship curriculum as part of the School of Law’s overall course offerings.
    • Advising students in selecting appropriate placements and externship seminars, as well as in matters of professional development and law practice.
    • Working with the externship faculty to plan and ensure that all externship seminars are taught in accordance with BU Law’s outcomes, current ABA Standards, and best practices.
    • Participating in the life of the law school by serving on committees and attending regular faculty meetings and events.

    Successful candidates must be licensed to practice law, have a minimum of five years post-JD legal work or law teaching experience, a strong desire to teach and mentor, and robust knowledge of law office practice. Experience with clinical legal education and externship program management is considered a plus. Excellent oral and written communication skills and organizational and managerial skills are required. Teaching and supervision experience are preferred.

    At Boston University School of Law, we are dedicated to building a just, inclusive, and engaged community of faculty, staff, and students. We recognize we have more work to do to achieve this vision. Boston University School of Law is committed not only to the ideals of faculty diversity and inclusion but also to the work of creating and implementing practices that combat exclusion and inequity by race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, religion, and other identities subject to historical subordination.

    GEORGETOWN UNIVERISTY LAW CENTER is hiring a clinical teaching fellow/supervising attorney for its Domestic Violence Clinic. 

    Fellowship Description

    The Domestic Violence Clinic (DVC) hires one clinical teaching fellow/supervising attorney each year, for a two-year fellowship position. DVC fellows receive intensive, supportive mentorship as they develop skills in litigation, teaching, and legal scholarship; fellows are well-prepared for a career in clinical teaching or public interest practice.

    DVC fellows develop skills as clinical teachers. They supervise law students as they represent survivors of domestic abuse in civil protection order cases in D.C. Superior Court. As supervisors, fellows teach students to develop a range of skills—from building a strong and empathic attorney-client relationship; to acquiring litigation practice skills; to exploring legal ethics; to becoming creative problem-solvers, trauma-informed lawyers, and excellent storytellers. They help students critically examine the psychological dynamics of intimate partner violence, the harms inflicted by our society’s systemic and institutional responses, and various alternatives to solutions rooted in the existing legal system.

    DVC fellows also learn to design clinic seminar classes on a range of topics, including child custody, professional ethics, and the individual and social dynamics of intimate partner violence. Faculty provide close support as fellows design the classes they will teach, focusing on how to navigate potential student learning challenges, how to develop an individual teaching “voice,” and how to facilitate interesting, challenging, and thought-provoking conversations and classroom exercises.

    DVC fellows receive extensive training and mentorship as they continue to improve their lawyering and litigation skills. Fellows provide direct representation to a small number of clients experiencing family abuse, primarily outside of the academic semester.

    Fellows are offered extensive opportunities to engage in legal scholarship. DVC faculty and others in the broader Georgetown community provide a wide range of support to fellows interested in researching, writing, and publishing their work. 

    First-year DVC fellows join the full community of Georgetown’s clinical teaching fellows in a course on clinical pedagogy co-taught by members of the Georgetown clinical faculty. They are also part of the Women’s Law and Public Policy Fellowship Program, where they have opportunities to collaborate with lawyer-fellows working on a wide variety of women’s rights legal issues at placements throughout Washington, D.C., and learn from leaders in the national and local feminist legal community.

    Preference will be given to applicants who have a background or demonstrated interest in family law, domestic or sexual violence, and/or poverty law, and to applicants who have trial practice experience. Applicants must be admitted to a Bar at the time they submit their application. A fellow offered the DVC fellowship position who is not a member of the D.C. Bar must apply for admission by waiver immediately following acceptance.

    The fellowship runs from early July 2024 through June 2026. The first-year salary is $70,000; the second-year salary is $75,000. Upon completing the fellowship, Georgetown awards fellows an LL.M. in Advocacy.

    The DVC welcomes and considers applications from any and all interested applicants without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran, or other protected status.

    Application Process

    Please complete the Women's Law & Public Policy Fellowship Program application and submit it to both Professors Deborah Epstein and Rachel Camp (dvclinic@law.georgetown.edu) and to the Fellowship Program (wlppfp@law.georgetown.edu).

    Applications must be submitted by Friday, November 10, 2023.
