    THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON SCHOOL OF LAW seeks applications for a Visiting Clinician to oversee and teach the Immigration Clinic during the 2021-22 academic year.  The Immigration Clinic provides legal representation to indigent immigrants and refugees, while also providing students with invaluable hands-on lawyering experience.  In addition to direct representation, students engage in policy advocacy, community outreach, and community education.

    ·       Supervising clinical students on cases and projects and teaching students a broad range of lawyering skills including research and writing, legal and policy analysis, problem-solving, and oral advocacy.

    The Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law at Yale Law School seeks a director to oversee the Center’s programs (including fellowships research, projects, and events) and to join in teaching its seminars.

    The Liman Center

    Founded in 1997, the Liman Center has grown substantially in the last two decades. At the outset, what was the “Liman Program” funded a single law school graduate to hold a one-year fellowship. As of 2020, the Liman Center supports eight to twelve Yale Law graduates each year to do a year or more of useful socially engaged work. As of 2020, the Liman Center has funded 153 post-graduate fellows.

    In addition, the Center is the umbrella for summer public interest fellowships at Barnard, Brown, Bryn Mawr, Harvard, Princeton, Spelman, Stanford, and Yale. More than 450 students have held such fellowships. Further, the Center currently has three Senior Fellows in Residence as well as affiliated Research Fellows.

    The Liman Center teaches seminars, runs colloquia, and does targeted research on a variety of areas to inform contemporary debates about inequality, law enforcement systems, and access to remedies through law. The law school classes (called the Liman Workshop) reflect those concerns; for example, in 2019 the seminar was on Poverty and the Courts: Fines, Fees, Bail, and Collective Redress (2019); in 2020, on Criminal Systems at a Crossroads (2020); and in the spring of 2021, Imprisoned: From Conception and Construction to Abolition.

    Ongoing research projects include the use of solitary confinement around the United States and the potential for legislative regulation; the intersection of public finance and court-based fines and fee systems; the economic and personal costs of incarceration; access to voting for people in detention in Connecticut; the impact of gender and race for people in detention; and the harms of COVID-19 for people held by the state. Much of this work is collaborative, as the Center joins other faculty at Yale Law School as well as with many people at other institutions. An overview of some of the Center’s research, publications, and testimony can be found here.

    Since its inception, the yearly Liman Colloquium has focused on important problems and brought together its Fellows (past and current), students, researchers, lawyers, judges, and others expert in the issues. Materials are generally circulated in advance so that the discussions are focused and interactive. In 2019, the topic was Economic Injustice: Courts, Law Schools, and Institutionalizing Reforms; this past year, the Colloquium’s title was After Ferguson: Money and Punishment, Circa 2020. A list of colloquium topics can be found here.

    The Liman Director

    The Center began in 1997 with the Arthur Liman Professor of Law at its helm. Soon thereafter, the position of the Liman Director was established. Working with the Liman Professor, the Director is responsible for overseeing, administering, and teaching in all aspects of the Center. This position as a research scholar includes a wide range of responsibilities:

    Managing the Yale Law School Fellowship program including recruiting and advising potential applicants, working with fellows and their host organizations by being in contact regularly throughout the fellowship year, and interacting with administrators at Yale Law School and Yale University. (Extensions are sometimes available and the Director is key in assessing such requests.)

    Developing curricula and course materials for the Liman Workshop and the Liman Projects, and co-teaching these courses with the Liman Professor and Senior Liman Fellows, as well as when desired, working with clinical faculty and co-teaching in some of their clinics;

    Working with faculty and program administrators at Yale University and at seven other colleges and universities to administer the Liman Summer Fellows program;

    Planning the annual Liman Colloquium, and other Liman Center events;

    Managing the drafting, production, and distribution of the annual Liman Reports, along with all other publicity and fundraising activities;

    Helping to write and distribute other books, reports, and collection of materials;

    Supervising the Liman Center Coordinator, the Liman Communications Director, and the Liman Student Directors;

    Managing the program budget, in consultation with the Liman Professor;

    Applicants must be law school graduates with a distinguished academic record; experience in public interest law; administrative skills; demonstrated research and writing ability; and an ability to work with students, alumni/ae; faculty, staff, and with lawyers and organizations around the United States. Prior experience teaching law or administering a nonprofit or other organization is useful but not required.

    The salary is competitive and based upon experience. For more information, please contact Anna VanCleave, Liman Director, anna.vancleave@yale.edu. To apply, please provide a resume, lists of references (including at least two academic references and at least one reference with whom the applicant has worked closely within the last two years); examples of written work (including copies of relevant publications, reports, research papers, essays or briefs); and a law school transcript.

    Please send your materials no later than March 10, 2021. Applications should be submitted to Anna VanCleave and Elizabeth Keane, Center Coordinator, elizabeth.keane@yale.edu.

    Yale University considers applicants for employment without regard to, and does not discriminate on the basis of, an individual’s sex, race, color, religion, age, disability, status as a veteran, or national or ethnic origin; nor does Yale discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.

    BROOKLYN LAW SCHOOL invites applications for the Director of our immigration clinic (now known as the Safe Harbor Project). The Law School is looking for an outstanding teacher, lawyer, scholar, and leader who will join our faculty and our clinical program. We are seeking candidates who either currently meet or will soon meet our specialized tenure standard.

    The Safe Harbor Project began in 1997. During that time, BLS students have represented hundreds of clients in a wide range of types of immigration matters, although its primary docket consists of applications for asylum and other humanitarian relief. More than 350 students have participated in the clinic, many of whom now are leaders in the immigration lawyer’s community in New York or who continue to represent immigration clients pro bono.

    The Director will have full control over the direction, focus, design and priorities of the Clinic. The Director will be responsible for overseeing every aspect of the Clinic’s work including developing the docket, supervising clinic students and teaching the required seminar. The Director also will also teach at least one non-clinical course per year.

    The Director will join our accomplished group of clinical faculty members who teach in our eight in-house clinics and direct our externships. The Law School strongly supports, and is known for, its clinics, taking great pride in their accomplishments. This year marked the 50th anniversary of clinic programs at BLS.

    The Law School’s commitment to public interest and public service is longstanding and deep so that the Director also will have opportunities to mentor student pro bono organizations and to participate in local, state and national projects relating to immigration. The Law School supports and encourages the scholarship of all faculty through generous summer stipends, research assistance and pre-tenure leaves.

    Brooklyn Law School, founded in 1901, is located in one of the most diverse and vibrant communities in New York. In the heart of booming downtown Brooklyn, the Law School is within walking distance of all state and federal courts. BLS students are hardworking, enterprising, always questioning and eager to participate in the “real world.”

    Qualifications

    A candidate for this position must have a JD from an ABA-accredited institution, a strong academic record, a current license to practice law, at least five years’ experience in practice, with experience as a clinical teacher strongly preferred. The candidate should be admitted to or eligible for immediate admission to the New York State and/or federal bars.

    We seek a new colleague who is creative, curious and self-motivated with an ability to thrive in an academic environment and who has a demonstrated passion for social justice advocacy.

    Application Instructions

    We hope to find a new Director to take over the clinic no later than fall 2021 but the position will remain open until our search is successful.

    Please send a cover letter, resume and writing sample to Professor Julian Arato, julian.arato@brooklaw.edu with the subject line “Clinical Faculty Position.”

    Applications are welcome, and will be considered on a rolling basis. We will begin considering applications on February 8, 2021, and can only guarantee full consideration of materials received before that date.

    Salary, rank, and title will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

    Brooklyn Law School is an equal opportunity institution that operates in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. BLS does not discriminate on the bases of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, pregnancy, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, marital status, personal appearance, income, veteran status,, an individual’s genetic information or any other bases under federal or local laws in its programs and activities.
