HARVARD LAW SCHOOL's Racial Justice Clinic, a project of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice, is inviting applications for an inaugural full-time Clinical Instructor.

The Clinical Instructor will bring a wealth of experience and strategic thinking on civil rights issues and advocacy strategies, as well as a strong interest in building out the legal and policy advocacy work of the Houston Institute for Race & Justice. The Racial Justice Clinic will serve as an extension of the Houston Institute’s goals to proactively imagine the future of civil rights and racial equality in the 21st century across a variety of substantive areas, including democratic participation and representation; the implications of technology for racial equality; and the future of anti-discrimination law and equal protection.

During the academic year, the Clinical Instructor will supervise and assess the work of Harvard Law School students, which involves meeting with the students weekly to discuss strategy related to the advocacy work of clinic (e.g., litigation, policy, advocacy); reviewing and editing students’ written work; accompanying students to court, legislative, and administrative hearings; and providing regular feedback, both written and oral, on their performance. The Clinical Instructor will also develop and teach the weekly clinic seminar each semester it is offered. During academic breaks, including winter and summer breaks between academic years, the Clinical Instructor will be responsible for managing any ongoing projects and cases.

The Clinical Instructor will also play a key role in the administration of the Clinic and will oversee day-to-day administrative tasks of the Clinic while working with the Houston Institute’s Faculty Director and other directors on higher level administrative tasks such as overall strategy and direction of the Clinic, fundraising, and building and maintaining partnership relationships.

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY LAW CENTER'S Health Justice Alliance (HJA) Law Clinic seeks a two-year clinical teaching fellow to begin in summer 2025 to teach and supervise law clinic students providing civil legal services through an innovative medical-legal partnership. Georgetown Law and HJA welcome applications without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran, or other protected status.

Clinic Description

HJA is a medical-legal partnership between Georgetown University’s Law and Medical Centers. Launched in 2017, HJA’s Law Clinic integrates law students directly into Georgetown community-based health clinics serving children and families living in poverty in Washington, D.C. Law students provide civil legal services to address barriers to patient health and well-being in collaboration with medical students, physicians, and other healthcare providers.

HJA’s local focus not only allows the Clinic to give back to the community it calls home, but also gives students an opportunity to explore and understand the challenges and strengths of the D.C. community beyond the Georgetown Law campus. Students learn not only law’s impacts on the health and well-being of residents, but also the history and policies that have facilitated health injustice here in our nation’s capital and the ways that law can be used to promote health equity.

Patients referred by our medical partners face complex, civil legal needs, many of which negatively impact their health and well-being. Among the needs currently being served are those related to housing, public benefits, education, and family law. By partnering directly with medical providers who provide low-barrier access to healthcare to high needs families in Washington, D.C., the HJA Law Clinic offers a unique method for reducing the barriers to justice confronted by people living in poverty, which contribute to racial economic and health disparities.

Description of the Fellowship

HJA is hiring a clinical teaching fellow / supervising attorney for two years beginning in summer 2025 and ending in summer 2027. The fellowship is ideal for a legal services attorney interested in transition into legal academia and developing teaching and supervisory abilities in a setting that emphasizes a dual commitment—clinical education of law students and poverty lawyering—in the context of an interdisciplinary medical-legal partnership. The fellow will (i) supervise law and medical students in casework and clinic projects and serve as a mentor and role model to law students in the clinic, (ii) share responsibility for designing and teaching law clinic seminar classes and facilitating case rounds, and (iii) share in the administrative and case handling responsibilities of the Law Clinic and its medical-legal partnership. The teaching team is highly collaborative and uses a team-based approach to pedagogy planning, student supervision, and casework.

Fellows also participate in a clinical pedagogy seminar and other activities designed to support an interest in clinical teaching and legal education and are offered support in writing a law review article. Successful completion of the fellowship results in the award of an L.L.M. in Advocacy. Teaching fellows receive an annual stipend of approximately $70,000 in the first year and $75,000 in the second year, health and dental benefits, and all tuition and fees covered in the LL.M. program. In addition to training in clinical pedagogy, fellows have access to programming and support around scholarship and the legal teaching market as well as other professional development opportunities. As Georgetown University students, fellows may qualify for deferment of their student loans and/or may be eligible for loan repayment assistance from their law schools. Onsite childcare is offered at the law school as available.

Fellows also benefit from their affiliation with the clinical program at Georgetown Law, the broader HJA cross-campus initiative, the law school and university’s health law and policy programs, and the Georgetown Law and Georgetown University communities. Georgetown is a vibrant institution with a deep commitment to public service and social justice. Georgetown Law is widely recognized as having the country’s #1 top ranked clinical program, with 17 law school clinics, which have clinical teaching Fellows who convene regularly for educational, professional, and social events. Because the program is widely respected by both the public interest bar and the academy, Fellows have enjoyed considerable success obtaining full-time teaching or advocacy positions after completion of the Fellowship.

Qualifications

The Health Justice Alliance Law Clinic seeks a prospective fellow with:

- Experience providing civil legal services to low-income clients (housing, public benefits, special education and/or family law in particular);
- Minimum of 3 years of post-J.D. legal experience;
- Membership in the District of Columbia Bar (if not a member of the D.C. Bar, must apply for admission by waiver upon accepting the fellowship offer);
- Demonstrated commitment to economic and racial justice;
- An interest in clinical teaching; and
- Prior medical, health-related, and/or mental health-related experience a plus

Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis. Please apply as soon as possible and no later than Monday, April 7, 2025 by submitting the following materials to HealthJusticeAlliance@georgetown.edu with the subject heading “Application for Clinical Teaching Fellowship:” a cover letter addressing your interest in this fellowship and in clinical teaching, résumé/CV, complete law school transcript, a list of at least three references, a writing sample (max. 10 pages), and optionally, a brief statement about any educational, familial, cultural, and economic experiences that have helped to shape your educational and professional goals or will contribute to your future career after the fellowship concludes.

THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON SCHOOL OF LAW invites applications for an Assistant Clinical Professor faculty position to direct our Domestic Violence Clinic, beginning in August, 2025.

To review our job posting and application instructions, please click here: https://careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/535059/dv-clinic-director. A summary of the position is below. Feel free to circulate this email to anyone who may be interested.

Please contact Laurie Hauber, Director of Experiential Education, at lhauber@uoregon.edu for additional information.

Position Summary

The Domestic Violence Clinic provides real-world legal education for law students by training them to provide high-quality, trauma-informed legal services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The attorneys of the Clinic specialize in representing survivors of abuse in restraining orders, family law, and other related legal matters. The Clinic is an important educational experience for the law students who participate, as it prepares them to meet the legal needs of clients who have experienced abuse and offers them an opportunity to work on actual cases. It is also a crucial resource in Oregon for survivors seeking safety and access to justice as affordable legal services are very limited.

When fully staffed, the Clinic consists of three attorneys (the Clinic Director, a staff attorney and a post-graduate fellow), one legal assistant, and one advocate. All of the positions are funded through a combination of federal grants and state funding. The Clinic offers clinical classes to law students who want experience in representing low-income survivors of domestic violence in restraining orders and family law matters. There are two tracks: (1) the Domestic Violence Protective Order Clinic, where students focus on restraining order matters; and (2) the Domestic Violence Civil Clinic, where students focus on civil legal actions, with an emphasis on family law (divorce, child custody and parenting time, support, paternity), and may also work on cases involving public benefits, housing, employment, unemployment compensation, consumer credit, and related criminal matters. The Director and Staff Attorney provide direct services to clients year-round. The Clinic also houses Student Survivor Legal Services. This program provides legal services to students at the University of Oregon and other higher education institutions in Lane County.

In addition to teaching one or both of the clinic tracks, the Clinic Director will be responsible for managing the day-to-day functioning of the Clinic, administering the grants funding the Clinic, and applying for continuing funding for the Clinic to ensure the Clinic’s long-term sustainability. In addition, the Director will work with the law school administration to continue to develop the academic programming and services offered by the Clinic.

The Domestic Violence Clinic Director will supervise the employees of the Clinic and will report to the dean of the School of Law. The Director position will be a 12-month, funding contingent, career non-tenure-track assistant clinic professor position.

The University of Oregon School of Law is a dynamic, ABA-accredited law school and Oregon’s only public law school.

We prepare students through excellent classroom teaching paired with a multitude of practical experience opportunities and robust professional development.
