Touro University Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center

Seeking to Fill Assistant Professor of Legal Process Positions in Great Falls, Montana

Touro University Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center is expanding its footprint and is excited to announce that it will be offering its nationally recognized FlexTime JD Program at its new Great Falls, Montana campus beginning in Fall 2027.  We are currently seeking outstanding applicants to serve as part of the inaugural faculty for the new Montana campus, starting in July 2027. We invite applications for two Assistant Professor of Legal Process positions.

Legal Process is a six-credit first-year course. Students receive three credits in the fall semester and three credits in the spring semester. In addition to the standard focus on predictive writing in the fall and persuasive writing in the spring, students are introduced to client interviewing.

Touro’s innovative FlexTime JD Program is a blend of in-person instruction required only on Sundays with online asynchronous coursework completed during the week. The program is specifically designed to meet students where they are, breaking down geographic and scheduling barriers. It provides students who may not be able to step away from existing careers and family obligations an opportunity to earn a law degree.

Candidates must have a J.D. degree from an ABA accredited law school, a minimum of five year’s law school administrative experience, and a commitment to teaching in an environment dedicated to excellence in teaching and mentoring of students. We look for innovative faculty with a preference for both practice and teaching experience. Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to service to legal education and to the wider community as well as a desire to engage in the intellectual life of the Law Center. Applicants are expected to be willing and capable of teaching in-person and remotely and familiar with best practices in both modalities. Candidates should have an established legal scholarship record or promise of legal scholarship.

Touro Law Center, a member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), is part of the Touro University. Established in 1970 to focus on higher education for the Jewish community, Touro University has grown to serve a widely diverse population. We are uniquely attuned to the importance of education for students of all backgrounds and circumstances.

If interested, all applicants interested must apply through the portal here.

Questions about the positions may be directed to Professor Peter Zablotsky, pzablots@touro.edu, Chair, Faculty Appointments Committee-Montana.
