The Thomas & Mack Clinic has programs in six different areas: Appellate, Education Advocacy, Family Justice, Immigration, Innocence, and Juvenile Justice.
We invite applications from dynamic scholar-clinicians who would complement our current clinical programs, or who would be able to develop new clinical offerings. We have a particular interest in expanding our clinical offerings to include a transactional, consumer law or community development clinic.
The William S. Boyd School of Law has an integrated tenure track in which faculty who teach in the clinic share equal status with other faculty.

The clinical program and law school are the beneficiaries of an active and engaged legal community, who look to the law school for leadership and partnership in addressing the community’s legal and policy needs.
Candidates must have earned a JD from an ABA-accredited law school or an equivalent degree. Applicants for Full Professor must have records of substantial accomplishment and qualifications sufficient to be awarded tenure. Salary will be competitive, based on experience.
