Faculty Hiring: Stetson

From an email that I received earlier today (and which I have edited, in part, solely for brevity):

Stetson
University College of Law invites applications for three positions:

1.  Experienced litigator/teacher/coach to
lead its award-winning trial advocacy program.  This is a full-time
programmatic tenured/tenure-track faculty position.  The successful
candidate will coordinate and oversee all trial competition programs, preparing
a budget, selecting and training trial team members, coaching at least one
team per semester, and recruiting and training coaches for additional
teams.  Teaching responsibilities may include L.LM. online classes, trial
advocacy, and upper-level skills courses.  This position requires actual
trial experience as well as a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school and
licensed membership in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
Applicants with experience coaching or teaching in established trial advocacy
programs will receive special preference.

2. Full-time Director of its Veterans
Advocacy Clinic.  Applicants should be admitted to the Bars of Florida,
the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and the United States
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and accredited by the Department of
Veterans Affairs.  Experience with
veterans benefits issues, military service, and clinical or other teaching is
strongly preferred.  The Veterans Advocacy Clinic represents veterans appealing adverse
benefits decisions of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The clinic also
coordinates a pro bono initiative, promotes policy and scholarship advances,
and assists student veterans.  The Director is responsible for every
aspect of the clinic’s legal work, supervises  and teaches students, and
cultivates a flow of cases appropriate for student representation.  Additional teaching responsibilities
will commence after one year.  Alternative structures for this position
may be considered for outstanding candidates.  This is a full-time
programmatic tenured/tenure-track faculty position.

3.  Bruce
R. Jacob Visiting Assistant Professor (VAP) for Fall 2014 through Spring
2016.  The VAP program is designed for individuals who seek the
opportunity to enter academia by gaining full-time teaching experience and
developing their scholarly agendas.  Jacob VAPs normally serve two
years.  In the first year the VAP will teach one course per semester and
in the second year the VAP will have a regular teaching load.  She or he
will be eligible to apply for a research grant and will be expected to produce
at least one significant piece of scholarship.  We provide our VAPs with
considerable assistance in developing their academic careers, including
mentoring, research assistants, and a professional travel budget. 
Compensation is competitive with similar VAP positions and may include health,
housing, and other benefits, as well.  We welcome applications from
candidates interested in any curricular area, but we are particular interested
in teacher/scholars focusing on commercial and business law. 

Stetson’s
beautiful campuses are located in Florida’s Tampa Bay region, the nation’s
nineteenth largest metropolitan area. Stetson is nationally known for its
programs in Advocacy, Legal Writing, Elder Law, and Higher Education Law. 
Interested applicants should visit our website at http://www.law.stetson.edu.  Stetson encourages applications from those who will

alternative structure for these positions may be made for exceptional
