    The University of California, Irvine School of Law, invites applications for a full-time clinical faculty position, to begin in July 2016.   The Law School's innovative curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, interdisciplinary teaching and research, and public service.  To this end, the founding faculty adopted as a graduation requirement that each student participate in at least one semester of clinical education in which she assists real clients in solving actual legal problems.   The Law School has allocated 10 of its 55 faculty positions for the hiring of clinical faculty to develop six to ten core clinics.  We intend to create clinics that engage in litigation, transactional and policy work to address our clients' needs, and to provide students with a broad range of options tailored to differing career interests.  Thus far, we have hired eight full-time clinical faculty, and currently offer seven clinical courses that fulfill the clinical requirement: Appellate Litigation, Community & Economic Development, Domestic Violence, Environmental Law, Immigrant Rights, Intellectual Property Arts & Technology and International Justice.

    The person selected will either create a new clinic or co-teach in one of the Law School's existing clinics, and will assist in the planning and development of the overall clinical program.   The Law School is most interested in applicants desiring to start a new clinic in the Criminal Justice area.  We also welcome applications to create clinics in other substantive areas.  At least five years of practice experience and two years of clinical teaching experience are strongly preferred.  This position is available as an academic tenure, clinical tenure, or tenure-track (academic or clinical) position, depending on the candidate's experience and interests. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. 

    UC Irvine School of Law is the first public law school in California in nearly 50 years. Fulfilling a longstanding vision of the campus, the school opened its doors to its first class of 60 law students in fall 2009. Today, the Law School has 44 full-time faculty and 330 students. The School of Law is an innovative and visionary law school focused on training talented and passionate lawyers and driven by academic excellence, intellectual rigor and a commitment to enrich our communities through public service.

UC Irvine School of Law combines the best of a large and renowned academic institution with a collegial, supportive and friendly environment.

    The Law School continues to rank highly. In 2015, its first year of eligibility, UCI Law was ranked No. 30 by U.S. News & World Report. This was the highest debut ranking by any new law school in U.S. News history. Additionally, our clinical program ranked No. 11, our intellectual property law program ranked No. 23 (tied with UCLA Law), and we were the only top-tier school to be listed in the top 10 index for student diversity. UCI Law also had the seventh best student-faculty ratio of any law school in the country.  Additionally, our faculty continues to be ranked No. 7 in scholarly impact in a recent study; in the Law School Survey of Student Engagement, the majority of our student population rated their entire educational experience as “Excellent,” far exceeding our peer schools and the national average; and UCI Law ranked No. 3, behind Yale and Stanford law schools, and above Harvard, in a ranking of student placement in prestigious federal judicial clerkships.  UC Irvine School of Law's innovative curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, interdisciplinary teaching and research, and public service.
