Cornell Law School-Entrepreneurship Law Clinic-Clinical Professor

Cornell Law School is soliciting applications for a full-time Clinical Professor (Assistant, Associate, or Full – rank commensurate with experience) to join the faculty of the Entrepreneurship Law Clinic (the ELC), starting in July 2027. This position will be based in Ithaca, New York.

The ELC, Cornell’s only transactional law clinic, is in its eighth year of operation. The ELC provides pro bono transactional legal services to startup businesses and entrepreneurs who are not yet ready or able to engage paid legal counsel, but who need assistance setting the legal foundation for their businesses. The ELC’s clients include both for-profit and not-for-profit businesses that are poised to create jobs, contribute to community economic development, and promote innovation. Some clients are local in their focus, and others have the potential to have an impact far beyond New York State. Law students working in the ELC gain practical experience in a variety of substantive legal areas including business structuring and entity formation, intellectual property, employment, immigration, finance and commercial contracts.

The ELC is expanding, thanks to a significant gift establishing the Blassberg-Rice Entrepreneurship Law Center (the Center). The expansion of the ELC represents Cornell Law School’s commitment to community-engaged learning and partnerships throughout New York State. The ELC will ultimately include three faculty members, two based in Ithaca and one based in New York City.
