From an email message that I received today:
THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE COLLEGE OF LAW invites applications from candidates to teach in our legal writing program beginning at the start of the 2023-24 academic year. Lecturers in the legal writing program will teach two sections of Legal Process I (predictive analysis, 3 credit hours) in the fall semester and two sections of Legal Process II (persuasive analysis, 3 credit hours) in the spring semester.
All positions require a J.D. or equivalent law degree. The College is seeking candidates with a passion for teaching legal writing and analysis in a way that connects deeply to law practice. Successful applicants should have an impressive academic background and a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and service. Significant professional experience is also desirable.
Legal writing faculty are hired at the rank of Lecturer and are eligible for promotion and long-term contracts, pursuant to the University’s promotion guidelines for non-tenure track faculty members. Lecturers participate in all aspects of law school life, advise student organizations, serve on committees, and vote on all matters except for issues relating to the hiring, tenure, promotion, and retention of tenure-track faculty. Lecturers are also eligible to receive professional development funding to support their teaching and service goals.
Applications must be submitted through this link. Applicants should submit a letter of interest, a CV, and the names and contact information for three references. While applications will be considered on a rolling basis, applicants should submit their materials no later than April 1, 2023, for best consideration. For questions, please contact Professor Lucy Jewel, chair of the search committee.
