    PENN STATE LAW in University Park seeks to hire a 2-year clinical law VAP to direct my family law clinic while I serve as our Associate Dean for Academic Affairs starting July 1, 2019.  This is a great opportunity for those interested in preparing for the academic market to be mentored, for those interested in clinical teaching, and for victim/survivor advocates.

    Penn State Law, based in University Park, PA, is seeking to hire an experienced legal professional to serve as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Clinical Law and Interim Director of the Family Law Clinic. The successful candidate will have law school teaching experience, and a background in representing clients in family law matters, particularly in cases involving domestic and sexual violence, and/or supervising law students in clinical casework. The Clinic is an “in-house” clinic that functions as a small pro bono law firm representing low-income Pennsylvanians in a variety of family law matters, including divorce, custody, protection from abuse, child support and adoption. The Interim Director will manage the Clinic’s direct legal services to clients, and, along with the Clinic’s Supervising Attorney, supervises the law students who represent those clients. Situated at Penn State’s largest campus in University Park, Pennsylvania, the Family Law Clinic is an integral part of Penn State Law’s work as a land grant university serving rural Pennsylvanians while competing on a global scale with scholarship and public policy work. Examples of Family Law Clinic cases and projects include protective orders for victims of domestic violence, securing financial support and property for indigent clients in divorces, asserting custodial rights for parents, and conducting Brief Legal Advice workshops on family law issues. The Interim Director will also teach the weekly Clinic seminar class, including simulations and other skill-building exercises, doctrinal law instruction, and case rounds. The Interim Director may also teach another law school course, which will be determined in consultation with the Associate Dean of Clinics and Experiential Learning and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. This is not a tenure-track position, nor is it designed to lead to permanent employment at Penn State Law. Rather, this is an opportunity for an experienced practitioner who is interested in exploring a career in clinical teaching, or a new clinical teacher who hopes to enter the market for a clinic director position in the future. This position has year-round case management responsibilities, with no teaching obligations in the summer, leaving some time to pursue a scholarly agenda. In-depth knowledge of family law and domestic violence required, with preference for those with experience in VAWA work and/or in certain other Clinic practice areas - specifically, divorce economic relief, child custody and support, and campus sexual assault. The Interim Director will also manage Penn State Law’s Public Interest programs, which include a large grant that partly funds the Clinic’s operations. The Public Interest programs job duties include collaborating with numerous student initiatives like the Family Law Society; Public Interest Law Fund and Alternative Spring Break; chairing the Public Interest Law Placements faculty committee; working with Career Services staff to maximize student matching with public interest opportunities; cultivating and publicizing pro bono opportunities for students; representing Penn State Law on public interest law boards and committees such as Student Legal Services, Mid-Penn Legal Services, the PA-IOLTA Board; and the AALS, ABA, and other national groups’ Public Interest/Pro Bono networks. Must have a desire to mentor, supervise and train law students in an “in-house” clinical program; a demonstrated passion for social justice and a commitment to working with low-income communities; excellent writing, communication and organizational skills; and the ability to work effectively within diverse stakeholder communities. The successful candidate will demonstrate knowledge and experience with client-centered lawyering, and outstanding legal practice skills. We seek a candidate who is creative, curious and self-motivated with an ability to anticipate issues and follow-up independently; is an exceptional strategist who can thrive in a collaborative, collegial environment and enjoys thinking through complex legal issues; and exhibits professionalism, drive and tenacity. This position is a benefits-eligible, fixed-term academic appointment beginning in summer 2019 and funded for two years from date of hire. Starting rank is negotiable depending on the applicant’s experience. A J.D., admission to the Pennsylvania Bar or eligibility to become a member of the Pennsylvania Bar and minimum four years of family law practice experience with substantial trial work preferred. Preferred start date is July 1, 2019. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled; only those candidates selected for interviews will be contacted.

    UC BERKELEY SCHOOL OF LAW’s Environmental Law Clinic (ELC) seeks to hire a full-time Clinical Teaching Fellow for a two years term(anticipated start date: July 1, 2019), potentially renewable.  The ELC  is a legal and policy clinic designed to train law students in creative and effective environmental advocacy, make a real world environmental difference through high-impact projects, and address the environmental legal needs of underserved communities. The Clinic undertakes projects local to global in scale, working on such diverse issues as climate justice; reducing human exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation; realizing a universal right to safe drinking water; increasing access to nature for communities often excluded from beaches and green spaces; and supporting green job development.

    Our docket is diverse in clients and advocacy method—we litigate, draft legislation, file rulemaking petitions, and write legal strategy memos, on behalf of nonprofits, community groups, individuals, and government agencies. But our twin themes are focused, and intertwined: enhancing environmental health and promoting environmental justice. The Clinic’s work is collaborative and multidisciplinary, and involves partnerships with faculty and research staff both in the law school and across the U.C. Berkeley campus. To date we have worked closely with the Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment; the School of Public Health; the Berkeley Center for Green Chemistry; the Berkeley Food Institute; and the UC Berkeley Office of Sustainability and Office of Environment, Health and Safety.

    Students in the Environmental Law Clinic enroll concurrently for four units of clinical fieldwork and a two-unit companion seminar; this represents roughly half their academic load for the semester. The Clinic’s classroom component involves a variety of teaching methods, and combines substantive law instruction with skills training (e.g., oral advocacy, legislative strategy, persuasive writing) that is relevant to students' Clinic projects.

    The Clinical Teaching Fellow will develop and supervise a docket of advocacy and research matters designed to promote environmental health and environmental justice in California and beyond. The Fellow position requires (a) significant environmental, environmental justice, or public health issue knowledge; (b) the soft skills and cultural competence to work in partnership with affected individuals and communities; (c) comfort working with technical material (e.g., scientific or economic literature) outside of one’s own subject area; and (d) the ability to work independently.

    The Clinical Teaching Fellow will work under the day to day supervision of the Clinic Director, and will often partner with the Director or the Clinic's Staff Attorney in supervising student work on cases and projects. During the summer, when students are not enrolled in the Clinic, the Fellow will maintain and advance the Clinic's docket, and develop new projects for the Fall semester.

    For more information about the Environmental Law Clinic, please visit our website at https://www.law.berkeley.edu/experiential/clinics/environmental-law-clinic/.

    The Fellow will perform the following duties under the primary direction of the Clinic Director:

    Clinical Supervision and Advocacy (85%)

    • In collaboration with other Clinic staff, supervise 2 to 3 clinical student teams on their projects per semester;
    • Draft briefs, rulemaking comments, policy memoranda, legislative proposals, and issue reports as needed;

    • Assist in designing/ teaching select components of the Clinic seminar;
    • Assist in the identification and scoping of new Clinic matters and clients;
    • Assist in developing and maintaining relationships with Clinic clients and co-counsel; and
    • If time permits, and the Fellow is so inclined, engage in academic research and writing.

    Administrative Duties (10%):

    • Assist in day to day management of the Clinic;
    • Promote the Clinic to students and other constituencies, and organize Clinic-related events;
    • Assist in alumni, foundation, and other fundraising activities as needed;
    • Participate in professional training and networking activities.

    Other Duties as Assigned (5%)

    Minimum Qualifications (at time of application):

    • J.D. degree or equivalent international degree

    Additional Qualifications (by start date):

    • Three years of civil practice and/or clerkship experience

    Preferred Qualifications:

    • At least one year of litigation experience in California courts;
    • Willingness to take California July 2019 bar exam if not already admitted;
    • Demonstrated research, writing, and oral advocacy skills;
    • Strong organizational and planning skills, and ability to work independently;
    • Demonstrated interest in environmental justice and/or environmental health issues;
    • Career intention to practice in public interest, public sector, or clinical setting;
    • Experience in clinical teaching/supervision, or other relevant teaching experience;
    • Experience or interest in environmental justice and/or community-based lawyering; and
    • Spanish proficiency (a plus, but not required).
