Description of Work:The clinic programs in the College of Law give third-year law students an opportunity to represent actual clients. Faculty members provide a valuable and unique learning experience as they supervise students working on real cases. The ten Clinical Programs offer experiences comparable to what a new attorney might face in the first few years of practice. It is essential for a tenure line associate/full professor to oversee these programs to ensure student success and meet academic program needs. A partial administrative appointment is essential for the coordination and administration of the program.
The total apportionment of duties is expected to be 25% administration, 60% teaching and 15% research. Split appointment (0.25FTE/0.75FTE), academic year contract.
