Fordham Law Seeks Experienced Clinician

Fordham University School of Law seeks an experienced clinical legal educator for a faculty position to commence no later than August 2009. Fordham has a vibrant clinical program, with a clinical faculty of more than 20 offering an extensive simulation program and live client/real matter clinics in more than a dozen practice areas. This appointment may be to a tenured or tenure-track position, to a presumptively renewable long term contract, or to a visiting position, depending on the record and interests of the successful applicant.

We invite applications from candidates who have a distinguished academic background, five or more years of teaching experience, a record of excellence in academic scholarship, and a commitment to service in the law school and the community.
