The University of Connecticut (UConn) School of Law seeks candidates for an open-rank clinical faculty position in its Legal Practice Program (“LP Program”), beginning in the fall of 2027. Appointment may be made at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Clinical Professor of Law, commensurate with the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience. The LP Program at UConn School of Law is an integrated seven-credit first-year program that provides experiential training in legal writing, legal research, oral advocacy, interviewing, counseling, negotiation, and professional identity formation.
This position affords the opportunity to teach Legal Practice during the fall and spring semesters; design and refine curriculum, simulations, assignments, and assessments that advance students’ lawyering skills; and mentor students as they develop as legal professionals. Faculty teach through a combination of classroom instruction and simulated client representations, culminating in an innovative spring-semester skills capstone. The program encourages thoughtful integration of emerging technologies—including legal research platforms and generative artificial intelligence—to enhance student learning while cultivating ethical judgment and professional responsibility needed to use these tools effectively in legal practice.
Although LP faculty collaborate closely on curriculum design and program development, each faculty member exercises substantial autonomy in organizing and teaching their course, selecting instructional approaches, and developing classroom materials consistent with program learning outcomes.
