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/

UC BERKELEY LAW - EAST BAY COMMUNITY LAW CENTER is seeking a Staff Attorney/Clinical Instructor for its Clean Slate Practice/Homelessness Clinic.

Information from the Clinic is below:

East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) is a non-profit legal services organization, the community-based clinical program for U.C. Berkeley Law School, and one of the Bay Area’s largest and most effective systems disrupters. With a dual service and teaching mission, EBCLC is a racial justice organization committed to building a culturally diverse workplace, centered on an internal Equity and Inclusion Roadmap that outlines the organization’s equity priorities. EBCLC is also an organized workplace, having reached its first collective bargaining agreement this summer. With about 80 staff, 150 law students a year, and a nearly $10 million annual budget, EBCLC is the largest provider of free legal services in Alameda County, providing multimodal, collaborative, and holistic legal services to over 5,000 clients annually and engaging in legislative and policy advocacy at the state and local levels.

The Staff Attorney/Clinical Supervisor for the Homelessness sub-unit of the Clean Slate Practice provides representation and advocacy on behalf of unhoused residents of the East Bay Area and trains and supervises law student interns. The position requires a strong community-centered legal advocate with excellent case management and organizational skills, experience designing and implementing new legal advocacy practices, experience in civil impact litigation and criminal law, interest in training law students, and a passion for working with low-income people impacted by the criminalization of poverty and contact with the criminal justice system. The Staff Attorney/Clinical Supervisor will join our eight-member Clean Slate Unit, which includes a Program Director, four Staff Attorneys, two Program Coordinators, and one Legal Fellow.

Primary Responsibilities

·         Conduct intakes and provide direct representation for people experiencing homelessness, who have issues with service providers including discrimination, denial of services, eviction from shelters and transitional houses, and discourtesy.

The UCI Law clinical program is currently ranked 5th in the nation.

We currently offer ten clinical courses that fulfill the requirement: Appellate Litigation, Civil Rights Litigation, Community & Economic Development, Criminal Justice, Domestic Violence, Environmental Law, Immigrant Rights, Intellectual Property Arts & Technology, International Justice, and Workers, Law, and Organizing. The candidate 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.

Appointment, merit, and promotion in the Clinical Professor of Law series requires, in addition to excellence in teaching and service, that the candidate makes outstanding and externally recognized contributions in research/creative activity in pedagogy and/or the discipline.

Applicants must hold a J.D. and be licensed to practice law in California by the end of their first year of employment.

CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY FOWLER SCHOOL OF LAW seeks a Dean of the School of Law.

Chapman University, a private university recognized for its culture of innovation as well as excellence in research and cutting-edge teaching, is extending its search for candidates for the position of Dean of the Dale E. Fowler School of Law.

Founded in 1995, the Dale E. Fowler School of Law (Fowler Law) based in Orange County, California is one of the premier private law schools in Southern California and consistently recognized as one of the top law schools in the nation for practical training. The School’s next Dean will inherit an outstanding market position, a thriving enrollment, and a community united in the shared goal of providing an outstanding legal education. The School aims to build on the momentum generated in recent years by record fundraising – including an extraordinarily generous $55 million naming gift; continuous improvement in U.S. News and World Report rankings; and increases in the academic profile and diversity of the incoming class. With these tailwinds, Fowler Law seeks to extend its reputation throughout California, regionally, and nationally through strategic management of its opportunities, resources, and excellent alumni partners.

Fowler Law offers a collaborative, personalized, and rigorous education that makes students more practice-ready than their counterparts at other schools. Ranked 16^th in the country for practical training, students have access to a wide array of experiential learning opportunities, including clinics, externships, practice-ready labs, and practice-oriented writing classes. With one of the best faculty-to-student ratios among ABA-approved law schools, Fowler Law offers smaller class sizes and greater access to a distinguished faculty both in and out of the classroom.

The changes to the student body also reflect the upward momentum the school has been experiencing. Recent first-year classes have seen dramatic increases in incoming credentials and diversity. The median LSAT score of incoming classes has increased 5 points in recent years, with the median undergraduate GPA increasing over a third of point. Additionally, today, 52% of the incoming class are from underrepresented backgrounds; 28% are first-generation college students. Also notable are Fowler Law's outcomes. The bar preparation program, offered at no extra cost, has resulted in consistently strong bar pass results on the most challenging bar exam in the country. Fowler Law has set record employment for their graduates in each of the last three years. Graduates are prepared to make a lasting difference in their communities as national and regional leaders, lawyers, and innovative entrepreneurs launching new businesses and legal ventures. 

Fowler Law seeks an extraordinary candidate for the deanship who is capable of capitalizing on Fowler Law's already strong assets to further its mission to deliver an outstanding legal education while also honoring its commitment to legal ethics, service, and diversity. All applicants must have a J.D. or equivalent and must have the necessary qualifications for tenure as a Professor of Law at the Fowler School of Law. More information can be found at www.wittkieffer.com.

WittKieffer is assisting Chapman University in this search. Application materials can be submitted through WittKieffer’s candidate portal or by email. Review of candidate materials will continue until the position is filled, with priority given to applications received by November 28, 2022. Confidential nominations and inquiries can be directed to Werner Boel, LL.M. Shelley Arakawa, J.D., and Ashlee Winters at chapmanlawdean@wittkieffer.com.

Chapman University values diversity and is committed to equal opportunity for all persons regardless of age, color, disability, ethnicity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status or any other status protected by law.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT SCHOOL OF LAW seeks candidates for a Director of a clinic focused on transactional practice, beginning August 23, 2023.

This position can take two different forms. The first is a non-tenure track faculty position subject to the Law School’s Policy on Long-Term Contracts for Non-Tenure Track Clinical Faculty, which complies with ABA Standard 405(c) by providing security of position, perquisites, and participation in faculty governance similar to tenure. The second is a tenure-track version of the position, for candidates who would like more emphasis placed on scholarly capacity and commitment as components of their work and criteria for evaluation. 

Whether the position is of the non-tenure-track or tenure-track mold, the person filling it may be hired at the rank of assistant, associate, or full clinical professor, depending on experience. The UConn School of Law is especially interested in candidates who will add to the diversity of our faculty. We welcome applications from women, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and other individuals underrepresented in the legal academy, as well as candidates with experiences, backgrounds, and viewpoints that will enrich the diversity of our community. 

We have a rich tradition of transactional clinical offerings at UConn Law, in tandem, historically, with external organizations based in the Hartford area. Moving forward, we are excited to expand our “in-house” opportunities—among other things, because it will help satisfy the considerable demand among our students for transactional experience during law school. We are open to all manner of transactional work, connected to any substantive area of law. Whatever the clinic’s exact focus, the Director will join a robust and collegial team of clinical faculty, focused on criminal justice, immigration, and tax, among other offerings. 

Position duties include planning and teaching clinic classes and supervising clinic casework, with substantial opportunity to engage in program design and development of further initiatives and growth in clinical programs. The Director also participates in public service activities; serves on faculty committees; counsels students; and is encouraged to teach additional courses outside the clinic consistent with the Director’s availability and interests and curricular need. 

For the non-tenure-track version of the position, opportunities and support for scholarly research and writing will certainly be provided, although other contributions to legal education, the legal profession, and society are equally valued in awarding long-term contract status. For the tenure-track version, there will be a greater emphasis placed on scholarly output and engagement in the evaluation of promotion and tenure.
