UCONN LAW SCHOOL seeks a part-time visiting instructor to assist in its Transactional Law Clinic (TLC).  The TLC is a one-semester course that introduces upper level law students to transactional lawyering.  Students in the TLC provide pro bono counseling and transactional legal services to small businesses, entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations, and creatives in the Hartford and surrounding areas.  More information about the work of the TLC can be found here: Transactional Law Clinic | School of Law (uconn.edu). 

This visiting position offers an attorney with an interest in clinical teaching and transactional law to supervise students on client matters and work with experienced faculty members in a law school clinical program. The adjunct will work in collaboration with the TLC director on supervising students and overseeing client matters.  The adjunct’s duties will include supervising TLC student client work, attending TLC supervision meetings with students, and supervising and reviewing student meetings with clients and potential clients.  The adjunct will attend the weekly seminar, which includes substantive legal discussions, case rounds, intakes, and simulation exercises.

The School of Law is especially interested in candidates who will add to the diversity of our faculty and community. We welcome applications from individuals underrepresented in the legal academy, as well as candidates with experiences, backgrounds, and viewpoints that will enrich the diversity of our community. 

Applicants must have a JD degree, membership in the Connecticut bar or the ability to become a member within three months of hire (Connecticut’s bar admission rules allow faculty members to be admitted without taking the Connecticut bar examination in some circumstances), excellent written and oral communication skills, demonstrated ability to work both collaboratively and independently, and practice experience in the field of transactional law.

This is a part time temporary position with no assurance of continued employment beyond the fall semester.  Employment of the successful candidate is contingent upon the successful completion of a pre-employment criminal background check.  To apply, please email a CV to Casey Faucon, Director of the Transactional Clinic at casey.faucon@uconn.edu.
