The University of Tennessee invites applications from both entry-level and lateral candidates for three full-time, tenure-track faculty positions to commence in the Fall Semester 2012.  The College's primary areas of curricular need include labor and employment, contracts, remedies, clinical teaching in the business/transactional area, and clinical teaching in criminal defense.   Candidates for those primary curricular needs who also have an interest and qualifications to teach any first year course, commercial law, business associations, and professional skills are strongly encouraged to apply.

Tennessee has the oldest continuously operating clinical program in the nation.  We currently have six clinics:  the Advocacy Clinic, which represents clients in criminal and civil cases; Business Clinic; Domestic Violence Clinic; Innocence Project; Wills Clinic; and Mediation Clinic.  We are excited about the prospect of expanding our clinical faculty.  Plus, Knoxville is a great place to live and work.  If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me or any other member of our clinical faculty.  

If you are interested in applying, please send a letter of intent, resume, and the names and contact information of three references by September 30, 2011 to:
