ASU seeks a full-time Clinical Associate/Professor of Law position at the rank of Associate/Full Instructional Professional as the Director of the Civil Litigation Clinic. Both entry-level and lateral candidates are encouraged to apply. The clinic's mission is to train law students to become effective, compassionate practitioners through direct representation of clients in litigation closely supervised by the Clinical Associate/Professor of Law. The clinic also provides classroom instruction and individual mentoring. In fulfilling its mission to educate students to become effective practitioners, the clinic strives to promote access to justice by offering free legal services to people who do not have adequate resources to hire a private attorney. The Civil Litigation Clinic is one of ten legal clinics in the Law School's Clinical Program. The successful candidate's vision for shaping the clinic will be a key consideration in the civil litigation focus areas going forward. Clinical Associate/Professor of Law on the continuing status track are evaluated based on their ability to teach students civil litigation skills, professional contributions, and service. Legal scholarship is not a requirement of the position, but scholarship may be considered in the candidate's favor as a professional contribution. An entry-level appointment would be as a probationary academic professional on track to continuing status under the rank of Associate Instructional Professional with the business title of Clinical Associate Professor of Law. A more experienced candidate who meets the law college's criteria for continuing status may be eligible for an appointment as a Clinical Professor of Law.
