Boston College Law School invites applications for full-time Legal Reasoning, Research, and Writing faculty to teach Law Practice I and Law Practice II, a new two-semester course sequence that replaces our current first-year LRR&W course.  Law Practice I, a graded three-credit course, uses simulated problems to teach professional skills in legal problem solving, including legal analysis, legal research, fact analysis, and oral and written communication. Law Practice II, a graded two-credit course, focuses on development of legal writing skills.  

Candidates must have a degree from an accredited law school, excellent writing and analytical skills, a strong academic record, and experience in law practice or a judicial clerkship.  Teaching experience is preferred.  The position, which will begin August 1, 2016, may lead to a form of security reasonably similar to tenure.  A tenure track appointment may be possible, depending on qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.
