EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

 

The University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor of Clinical Law to teach its Civil Litigation Clinic during the 2010-11 academic year. The Civil Litigation Clinic assists indigent clients in a variety of cases—primarily arising from landlord-tenant, consumer protection, and debtor-creditor disputes—pending in the General Sessions, Circuit, or Chancery Courts of Shelby County, Tennessee. All cases handled by the Clinic are referred by Memphis Area Legal Services (MALS) and are subject to MALS’ eligibility guidelines.  The Visiting Assistant Clinical Professor will be responsible for designing and instructing the classroom component of the Clinic and supervising all case-related work of the enrolled student attorneys. 

Candidates should have a distinguished academic record and at least 5 years of relevant practice experience.  Preferred qualifications include two or more years of experience as a clinical teacher.  Applicants must either be a member of the Tennessee Bar or eligible for admission to practice in Tennessee (a local practice rule allows for attorneys admitted to practice in another state to obtain special licensure permitting employment in approved, law school-based clinical programs).
