WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL - DETROIT, MICHIGAN

CLINICAL FACULTY POSITION AVAILABLE

Wayne State University Law School is seeking candidates for a permanent or visiting position as a clinical faculty member beginning August 2013.  Wayne Law has eight live-client clinics (Asylum/Immigration, Business/Nonprofit, Criminal Appeals, Disability, Environmental, Family/Elder, Mediation, Patent Procurement) and five field placement programs (Criminal Justice, Government Agency, In-House Counsel, Judicial, Public Interest).  While our needs are flexible, we particularly are interested in candidates with the background needed to direct, teach, and supervise our Disability or Patent Procurement Clinic, to direct and teach two or more of our field placement programs, or to establish a new clinic that would further diversify our clinical offerings and address the unmet legal needs of the surrounding urban community (e.g. Civil Rights, Education, Prisoner Reentry).  

Minimum qualifications for the position include a J.D. degree, at least three years of professional experience after law school, and admission to the State Bar of Michigan (or eligibility for admission without examination).  Preferred qualifications include at least five years of professional experience after law school and one or more years of clinical teaching experience.  Persons interested in applying should send a resume and cover letter to Professor David Moss, Director of Clinical Education, Wayne State University Law School, 471 W. Palmer, Detroit, Michigan 48202 (david.moss@wayne.edu).
