From an email message that I received earlier today:
The University of Mississippi School of Law announces the
creation of the MacArthur Justice Clinic, the law school's ninth clinical
program. Opening this summer, the Clinic will undertake impact litigation
on civil rights/human rights matters and criminal
justice issues in Mississippi. The law school seeks a tenure-track
clinical faculty member to lead and teach in the clinic. With the
generous support of the J. Roderick MacArthur Foundation, the law school will
receive funding for the Clinic’s litigation efforts, and will also create an
endowment to provide loan repayment and fellowships for recent graduates who
pursue public interest law in Mississippi. Within five years, the law
school anticipates this fund will reach the $1 million mark. The School
of Law looks forward not only to the work of the MacArthur Justice Clinic, but
also to the connection the Clinic will build with the Roderick MacArthur
Justice Center at Northwestern University School of Law. The Chair of the
Search Committee is Professor Donna Davis donnad@olemiss.edu. For more information about the position and
to apply, please visit https://jobs.olemiss.edu/postings/2645.
