From an email message that I received earlier today:
The Washington and Lee University School of Law seeks to hire a faculty member with research and teaching interests in the fields of civil procedure, federal courts, employment discrimination law and/or labor law. Our school is excited to advance our trajectory of outstanding scholarship and teaching with a new hire. In addition to this subject-matter focus, we look for an individual who will embrace and meaningfully contribute to our close-knit, collegial, and intellectually vibrant community.
We warmly invite applications for a position as Assistant or Associate Professor of Law beginning July 1, 2020, and we are particularly focused on lateral candidates with between 2-4 years of experience. In all cases, candidates for the position must demonstrate a record of excellence in both teaching and scholarship.
A central aspect of the mission of our Law School is to promote a diverse and collaborative intellectual community. To do so, we continually strive to foster an inclusive campus community, one which recognizes the value of all persons regardless of identity. To further our mission, we are committed to enhancing the diversity of our faculty and student body. In that regard, we welcome candidates from members of communities that are traditionally under-represented in the legal profession and academia.
Applicants should submit the following materials through the W&L portal http://apply.interfolio.com/68071: a cover letter describing their interest in the position, a current curriculum vitae, a research agenda, and a list of references. Please address these materials to Prof. C. Elizabeth Belmont of the Faculty Appointments Committee. Additionally, please feel free to reach out to her with any questions you may have. Her contact information is below:

All inquiries will be treated as confidential.
