Clinical Professor of Law

Clinical Professor of Law
University of Notre Dame: The Law School
Location
Notre Dame, IN -- Home Campus

Description
Notre Dame Law School is growing its in-house clinical programs. The Law School is conducting a search for one or more clinical professors to launch new clinics that will complement our seven current in-house clinics and our extensive externship program.

We invite applicants to propose the focus, design, and priorities of a new clinic that furthers the Law School's Catholic mission. Potential focus areas include, but are not limited to, housing, veterans, intellectual property, tax, disability, and civil rights. The Law School has a particular interest in service to those in poverty. The starting date for new clinics is flexible.

The clinician will oversee every aspect of the clinic's work, including developing clients, managing cases, supervising students, and teaching the clinical seminar. The Law School supports, but does not require, formal scholarship by clinical professors. Clinicians may, but are not required to, teach courses outside of their clinic.

As part of a Catholic university, Notre Dame Law School aims to educate lawyers and sustain a community of scholars who understand law as a vocation—a way to serve God and humanity. Our Catholic mission also moves us to be open and welcoming to people of all viewpoints and religious traditions.

Notre Dame is an Equal Opportunity Employer of all persons and protected classes, including people of color, women, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. The University of Notre Dame supports the needs of dual career couples and has a Dual Career Assistance Program in place to assist relocating spouses and significant others with their job search.
