HARVARD LAW SCHOOL's Racial Justice Clinic, a project of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice, is inviting applications for an inaugural full-time Clinical Instructor.

The Clinical Instructor will bring a wealth of experience and strategic thinking on civil rights issues and advocacy strategies, as well as a strong interest in building out the legal and policy advocacy work of the Houston Institute for Race & Justice. The Racial Justice Clinic will serve as an extension of the Houston Institute’s goals to proactively imagine the future of civil rights and racial equality in the 21st century across a variety of substantive areas, including democratic participation and representation; the implications of technology for racial equality; and the future of anti-discrimination law and equal protection.

During the academic year, the Clinical Instructor will supervise and assess the work of Harvard Law School students, which involves meeting with the students weekly to discuss strategy related to the advocacy work of clinic (e.g., litigation, policy, advocacy); reviewing and editing students’ written work; accompanying students to court, legislative, and administrative hearings; and providing regular feedback, both written and oral, on their performance. The Clinical Instructor will also develop and teach the weekly clinic seminar each semester it is offered. During academic breaks, including winter and summer breaks between academic years, the Clinical Instructor will be responsible for managing any ongoing projects and cases.

The Clinical Instructor will also play a key role in the administration of the Clinic and will oversee day-to-day administrative tasks of the Clinic while working with the Houston Institute’s Faculty Director and other directors on higher level administrative tasks such as overall strategy and direction of the Clinic, fundraising, and building and maintaining partnership relationships.
