About The WilmerHale Legal Services Center

Founded in 1979 by the trailblazing clinicians Gary Bellow and Jeanne Charn, the WilmerHale Legal Services Center (LSC) of Harvard Law School is located at the crossroads of Jamaica Plain and Roxbury in the City of Boston. LSC’s longstanding dual mission is to pursue justice for community members of limited means while educating Harvard Law Students for practice and professional service. Through six clinics—Consumer Protection, Family Law/Domestic Violence, Low-Income

Taxpayer, Housing, LGBTQ+ Advocacy, and Veterans Law and Disability Benefits—and numerous projects and pro bono initiatives, LSC advocates and student attorneys provide essential legal services to community members from nearby neighborhoods in Boston, to residents of Greater Boston and Massachusetts, and in some instances, where cases present unique law reform opportunities, to clients from across the country.

Across its many practice areas, LSC works to improve the lives of individual clients, to seek systemic change for the communities it serves, and to provide clinical law students with a singular opportunity to develop fundamental lawyering skills within an immersive and community-based, legal services practice setting. LSC’s clinics use a variety of advocacy tools—including high-volume civil legal services, cutting-edge litigation and policy advocacy, and innovative outreach and community legal education strategies. Central to LSC’s model of legal advocacy and clinical education is an understanding that legal crises do not arise in isolation, that many clients face multiple and intersecting legal and non-legal needs, and that a holistic approach to lawyering best serves client and community interests. LSC actively partners with a diverse array of community groups, prioritizes cooperation and inter-disciplinary work, including through two medical-legal partnerships, and regularly adapts its practice areas to meet the changing legal needs of client communities. To learn more about LSC and its individual clinics, projects, and initiatives, please visit here.

THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA CAREY LAW SCHOOL invites applicants for the position of Clinical Supervisor and Lecturer in its Civil Practice Clinic. The Civil Practice Clinic (CPC) is Penn Law’s oldest in-house, live client clinic. It enjoys a long and distinguished history of providing high-quality, legal assistance to indigent clients in a broad range of civil litigation matters, while promoting the professional development of students who serve as the front-line lawyers for their clients.

The Clinical Supervisor and Lecturer will work closely with the Director of the CPC and other CPC faculty in all activities, including course planning, teaching, supervising and mentoring law students, representing clients, and coordinating with other providers of civil legal assistance in the local community. The Clinical Supervisor will assist CPC students in developing and enhancing core lawyering competencies including client interviewing, case planning, client counseling, fact development, problem solving, legal research and writing, ethical decision-making, negotiation, and trial presentation skills. Students are certified by state and federal courts to engage in all aspects of lawyering under faculty supervision, and they provide legal assistance individually and in teams on matters such as housing, consumer, employment, public benefits, civil rights, and civil asset forfeiture. Students also participate in weekly “case rounds” discussions of their cases where they engage collaboratively in problem solving on difficult substantive and ethical issues that arise in litigation.

The successful applicant will begin as soon as practicable with the hope of having someone join our team to begin teaching in the fall semester. The position is a contract position that is annually renewable up to a maximum of 5 years. It is the Clinic’s goal and expectation that the selected candidate will receive training, mentoring, and experience in all aspects of teaching, supervising, and running a successful litigation clinic that will enable the individual to pursue a career in legal academia, if desired, upon completion of service at Penn Law.

Applicants should be licensed attorneys who have 5+ years of experience in civil litigation, a strong commitment to promoting access to justice, and a demonstrated interest in nurturing student development. Admission to the Pennsylvania bar within one year is required. The successful applicant will possess excellent organizational, communication, and advocacy skills and will be someone who works well independently and as a member of a team. A record of strong academic achievement, commitment to serving diverse, low-income communities, and intellectual engagement with the law are essential. Teaching experience (or a passion for teaching), creativity, and strategic thinking are highly valued. Review of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Please apply at http://apply.interfolio.com/108313.

Please refer questions to the Director of the Civil Practice Clinic, Louis S. Rulli, at lrulli@law.upenn.edu.

THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA CAREY LAW SCHOOL invites applicants for the position of Clinical Supervisor and Lecturer in its in-house, live client, transactional law clinic.

It serves both for-profit and non-profit organizational clients by placing students in the role of “lead counsel” for economically and socially impactful ventures.

The Clinical Supervisor and Lecturer will work closely with the Director of the ELC in all activities, including course planning, teaching, supervising and mentoring law students, representing clients, clinic administration, and community education, engagement and outreach.

The successful applicant will challenge ELC students to practice and hone a variety of core competencies that will be critical in their careers (fact development, framing and analyzing legal issues, negotiating and drafting, and client counseling), but also to develop critical capacities for exercising judgment, solving problems, cultivating a professional identity, communicating (through a variety of modes) with clients and supervisors, collaborating with peers, and managing projects, people and expectations.

Applicants should be licensed attorneys who have a minimum of 5 years of experience in a general business or transactional law practice and demonstrated acumen in business planning, structuring, negotiation, contract drafting, and community engagement.

Teaching experience (or a passion for teaching), creativity, strategic thinking, and demonstrated ability to work with culturally and economically diverse groups are highly valued.

The successful applicant will begin teaching as early as January 2023 but no later than July 2023. The position is a contract position that is annually renewable up to a maximum of 5 years. It is the Clinic’s goal and expectation that the selected candidate will receive training, mentoring, and experience in all aspects of teaching and leading a successful transactional clinic that will enable the individual to pursue a career in legal academia upon completion of service at Penn Law School including starting or directing a transactional law clinic at another law school.

We value a diverse and inclusive teaching and client representation environment. Applicants are encouraged to express how their unique background and experiences might contribute to the diversity, cultural vitality, and perspective of clinical teaching, supervision, and client representation.

Please apply through this link: apply.interfolio.com/113530. Review of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Please refer questions to the ELC Director, Praveen Kosuri at pkosuri@law.upenn.edu.

THE UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE SCHOOL OF LAW invites applications for a fellowship to start on or about December 2, 2022, in the University of Baltimore Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic. 

Vacancy number 301291

Position Type: Faculty position with full, competitive benefits package
Opens: 09/13/22     Closes: Open Until Filled

Salary: $70,000

Position is open until filled but priority is given to applications submitted by October 1, 2022.

This full-time, year-round, 3-year public interest fellowship program, offers superb mentorship and training as Fellows transition from law practice to law faculty, providing intensive support in areas of pedagogy, academic writing, and more.  Many former Fellows are now in long-term teaching positions at other institutions. (https://law.ubalt.edu/clinics/docs/080421%20Fellow%20alumni%20for%20webpage.pdf).  
Because we value the diversity of our faculty and student body, we welcome all qualified candidates including members of communities that are traditionally under-represented in the legal profession and academia.
 
This posting is specifically for the Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC), although, Fellowship positions for other areas of practice are available as well (Immigrant Rights and Justice Clinics as well as the Criminal Defense an Advocacy Clinic).  The Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic provides education, advocacy, and representation to low-income taxpayers.  It educates taxpayers as to their rights and responsibilities as taxpayers, identifies and advocates issues that disparately effect low-income taxpayers, and represents them in federal tax disputes and related state tax matters.  Its cases involve administrative controversies before the Internal Revenue Service and litigation in federal courts.  Students serve as first-chair attorneys under the guidance and support of law school faculty, including the Fellow.  Typical student work includes arguing innocent spouse applications, preparing audit reconsiderations, briefing, and appearing in collection matters (including Collection Due Process hearings and offers in compromise), and handling cases in Tax Court, including appearing at U.S. Tax Court calendar calls and volunteering for settlement days.  Additional student work may include occasional outreach, such as educational presentations, to low-income taxpayers and community partners.       
 
The Fellow’s duties include direct supervision of clinic students’ client, case, and community education work; co-teaching a weekly clinic seminar; engaging in course planning and preparation with the other faculty members in the Clinic, including LITC Director, Janice Shih; and facilitating and participating in community outreach and education.  During the winter and summer breaks in the academic year, the Fellow will cover client matters, continue with outreach and education as scheduled, handle additional clinical program duties as assigned, and develop their academic writing.  

This position is a full-time, year-round, contractual appointment for three and a half years.  Because the LITC serves evening students, the Fellow will teach at least one evening each week during the fall and spring semesters, with daytime hours adjusted accordingly.   

The Fellowship focuses its first year and a half on the skills of teaching, from crafting and leading seminars, to facilitating supervision meetings with student-attorneys. The second year of the fellowship focuses on developing legal scholarship. The third year, we support the Fellow to go on the clinical teaching job market if they so choose. For more details about the Fellows’ Program, please view our website at http://law.ubalt.edu/clinics/fellows/
 
Qualifications:  Two or more years of experience as a practicing lawyer, primarily in the field of tax controversy; exceptional oral and written communication skills; a demonstrated interest in working for low-income clients; and an interest in mentoring and teaching. Fellows must be members of the Maryland Bar, willing to become members of the Bar, or qualified to obtain a certification of authorization to practice for out-of-state supervising attorneys under Maryland Rules 19-218 and 19-220.  The Fellow must also be a member of the bar of the U.S. Tax Court or able to seek admission to the bar of the U.S. Tax Court and willing to complete the necessary documentation to be permitted by the Internal Revenue Service to supervise law practice by students.
 
Salary:  The current salary is $67,000/year.  The position includes full benefits, including retirement plan. Benefits are listed here (see under “Faculty and Regular Employees”): https://www.ubalt.edu/about-ub/offices-and-services/human-resources/benefits/index.cfm.  The position also includes research support, and a travel allowance to attend relevant conferences and workshops.  Candidates in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program are encouraged to investigate whether employment at the University of Baltimore, a state educational institution, may qualify.   
 
We look forward to receiving your required electronic application, including a letter of interest, resume, and brief statement about how your candidacy would support traditionally underrepresented communities in the legal profession and academia.   
 
The position is open until filled.  For more details about the Fellows’ Program, please view our website at https://law.ubalt.edu/clinics/fellows/
