    Visiting Professors in any of the four clinics listed above would co-teach for one or two semesters in a one-semester, six credit course that satisfies the Law School’s clinical course requirement for graduation. Applicants for these positions should have at least 7-10 years of legal practice and/or teaching experience in the relevant practice area. They must hold a J.D. degree or equivalent from an accredited institution and be a member of a state bar.

    A brief description of each of the clinics is provided below; more information is available on the Law School’s website. 

    The Community & Economic Development Clinic focuses on issues of community and economic development  in low-and moderate-income populations, emphasizing non-adversarial, transactional approaches to advocacy.  Because the clinic’s primary goal is to solve its clients problems  by the most effective means available, the clinic also represents clients in some litigation matters.  Clinic students primarily represents organizational clients, including resident organizations in mobile home parks, non-profits and small businesses.

    In the Immigrant Rights Clinic, students provide direct representation to immigrants on matters ranging from bond, complex removal defense and post-conviction motions to combatting workplace exploitation and protecting the civil and constitutional rights of immigrants. The clinic also provides legal support to grassroots organizations on policy initiatives and campaigns. The clinic strives for and models high quality, holistic and transformative lawyering. It acts in accordance with the foundational insight that the community is best served when lawyers can help empower individuals and marginalized groups to advocate for themselves. 

    In the Intellectual Property, Arts, and Technology Clinic, law students work to protect civil liberties and support innovation in the digital age by advising and representing clients on a range of matters dealing with copyright, patent, privacy, First Amendment, and media law, among other areas. The nature of the Clinic's projects varies depending on client need, appropriateness of project for clinical teaching, student and faculty interest, and resource availability, but projects will likely include a mix of advocacy, counseling, and policy matters in multiple fora. 

    The Startup and Small Business Clinic is designed to train law students to serve small business owners and entrepreneurs of startups with formation, capitalization, corporate governance, intellectual property matters, contract drafting/negotiation, debt/equity financing and ongoing business operations.  Law students represent clients on every aspect of Startup/small business law from formation to buy-sell agreements. Students will work to prepare material for informational and educational workshops for startup companies and small businesses to help owners of such businesses with common legal issues and questions.

    GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY LAW CENTER invites applications for one tenure-track faculty position in the Criminal Justice and the Criminal Defense and Prisoner Advocacy Clinics, which are both part of Georgetown’s top-ranked clinical program.

    Georgetown Law is fortunate to have two criminal clinics that serve many third-year law students and six E. Barrett Prettyman fellows each year.  Because of the size of the two programs, in addition to the directors of the respective clinics, an additional full-time faculty member is shared between the two year-long clinics, teaching in the seminar and supervising students in both clinics on their criminal cases. 

    The faculty member in this position plays a vital role in supervising the E. Barrett Prettyman program (a 57 year-long Georgetown institution).  As the Co-Director of the Prettyman program, the faculty member runs a six-week training program for the fellows at the beginning of their fellowship and supervises the fellows in their misdemeanor and felony caseloads through the year.  With teaching responsibilities in two different clinics and the supervision of students and fellows in multiple criminal cases, this position requires an energetic, thoughtful, and experienced practitioner and scholar. Since this appointment is on the tenure track, the faculty member will be expected to produce high-quality scholarship and to engage in the academic life of the law school. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, three references and a scholarly agenda to Emily N. Smith at eny3@georgetown.edu.

    Georgetown Law has operated its highly regarded in-house clinical program for more than 50 years. Through this program, students learn the practical art of lawyering while providing quality legal representation to under-represented individuals and organizations. We offer 17 different clinics, and more than 300 students participate in this program every year.

    Georgetown Law has a strong commitment to diversity among its faculty and encourages applications from women, racial and ethnic minorities, individuals with disabilities and veterans.
