Faculty - Skills Academic Support Program - CUNY School of Law

FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT


The City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law seeks several qualified (unitary) tenure track candidates across a broad curricular spectrum, including one faculty position to teach Torts and other core doctrinal courses, one faculty position in CUNY Law’s vaunted Skills (academic success) program, and up to three faculty positions in CUNY Law’s nationally ranked clinical program, in areas including Health Law, Environmental Justice, Civil Rights, Immigration Law, National Security, and Workers’ Rights. Clinic faculty appointments will be in one of CUNY Law’s existing clinics: https://www.law.cuny.edu/academics/clinical-programs/. The Committee will consider lateral appointments at all levels for qualified candidates. Appointments are to begin no later than Fall 2025.


CUNY School of Law is a national leader in progressive legal education, being top-ranked for public interest law and for clinical programs. CUNY is also the most diverse law school in the nation and has both a three-year full-time day program and a four-year part-time evening program.


CUNY School of Law’s mission is two-fold: training public interest attorneys to practice law in the service of human needs, and providing access to the profession for members of historically underrepresented communities. The Law School advances that dual mission through an innovative curriculum bringing together the highest caliber of clinical training with traditional and experiential doctrinal legal education to train lawyers prepared to serve the public interest. The basic premise of the Law School's program is that theory and abstract knowledge cannot be separated from practice, practical skill, professional experience and the social, cultural, and economic context of law. The curriculum, therefore, integrates practical experience, professional responsibility, theoretical perspective, and lawyering skills with doctrinal study at every level. The Law School faculty and administration are committed to providing academic and bar support to all students. They also perform teaching, research, and guidance duties at the CUNY School of Law in their areas of expertise. Responsibilities include supervising students in legal practice or related activities, and sharing responsibility for committee and department assignments as well as administrative, supervisory, and other functions.

 

The primary responsibility of each hire will be to teach law students in the courses and clinics stated above, along with other courses as part of a course package. For candidates in doctrinal areas, they must have backgrounds representing, or scholarship related to, the topics in which they seek to teach. Candidates for faculty positions in Skills and Clinic should be prepared to discuss their scholarly interests. All individuals hired for these positions must address through their teaching an approach that integrates anti-oppression, liberation-oriented pedagogy to develop social justice lawyers capable of defending the lives of historically vulnerable populations, as well as inculcating in students the values of professionalism, civil discourse, strategic and zealous advocacy, and ethics and integrity. In dialogue with the Academic Dean, all faculty at CUNY School of Law are expected to teach other subjects as needed, including required first-year Lawyering Seminars on a rotating basis, and are expected to teach in both the day and evening programs on a rotating basis.


QUALIFICATIONS


J.D., L.L.B., or Ph.D. in a law-related discipline. Also required are demonstrated or promised evidence of
significant success as a faculty member; interest in productive scholarship or law-related work; ability to teach
successfully; and ability to cooperate with others for the good of the institution.


PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS


In addition, the following qualifications are preferred relating to CUNY School of Law’s two-fold mission described above:
a. At least five (5) years of practice experience in the relevant subject areas;
b. (For applicants seeking to teach in a clinic or in the Skills area) at least three (3) years of clinical or skills teaching or related practice
experience;
c. Admission to a bar of one or more of the states or territories of the United States;
d. Social justice lawyering experience and an ability to bring this experience to their teaching;
e. Candidates should also demonstrate promise of success in faculty governance, and in other ways that build
and strengthen the institution.

From our job posting system, select "Apply Now", create or log in to a user account, and provide the requested

focus areas (Torts, Skills, or Clinic) they are most interested in.

Academic and Bar Support Scholarship Spotlight

Welcome to the Fall 2024 semester, and a special shoutout to new Blog editor, Professor Goldie Pritchard.  Our community is lucky to have yet another ASP/ bar prep superstar at the helm of the Blog.  And, I would be remiss if I failed to thank Blog Editor Emeritus Steven Foster for all his work furthering the Blog's success.  

This week, the Academic and Bar Support Scholarship spotlight brings you the following:

1.  Franklin, Kris (NYLS) and Christopher, Catherine Martin (Texas Tech), Defining the Discipline: Six Pillars of Academic Success Programming in Law Schools, __ J. Legal Educ. __ (forthcoming, 2024).

From the abstract:

This Article describes six "pillars" of programming that each law school must have in place in order to ensure the academic success of its students and graduates. No one person or program need provide all six, but law schools can use this Article to self-assess their strengths and identify areas where additional resources should be added. Likewise, academic success professors can use this Article to self-assess and design a plan for professional development. The pillars are: expertise in the fundamentals of learning theory and pedagogy, possessing fluency with core law school doctrine, understanding marginalization in order to mitigate, assisting students in crisis, operating effectively within the law school's institutional structures, and promoting professional longevity through development and self-care. While squarely aimed at promoting the academic success of law students, the pillars also implicate issues of employment status and pay equity for ASP professors.

2.  Gutowski, Nachman (UNLV), London, Ashley (Duquesne), Foster, Steven (Oklahoma City) and Israel, Taylor (Thoms Jefferson), Questioning the Inevitability of the NextGen Bar Examination (White Paper, 2024).

From the introduction:

The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) is actively promoting the NextGen Bar Exam (NextGen) as an inevitable and necessary replacement for the current Uniform Bar Examination (UBE). This new exam has been advertised as a modern solution to legal licensure, with the NCBE publicizing commitments from a growing list of jurisdictions as what can only be described as an inference of evidence to its inevitable nationwide adoption. However, a closer examination reveals a more complex and nuanced picture, raising questions about the true inevitability of NextGen and highlighting the significant remaining hurdles. The article delves into these complexities, challenging the narrative of widespread acceptance and emphasizing the need for a more thoughtful and inclusive approach.

Gearing Up-A checklist for starting a new academic year....

Welcome back ASP’ers!! I know a lot of us have already started teaching either at orientation or our regular full blown classes. To make your transition from "summer you" to "law school you" easier, here is a brief checklist to help you prepare:

  1. Prepare your family. My ADULT children have felt no shame in calling and asking me to do them favors all summer (they have been home between their school years). Practice with me: Can you bring me a jacket? No. Can you make my lunch? No. I am locked out of the house, where are you? No. Should I walk the dog? Yes. This leads nicely to the next item on our list.
  1. Prepare your pets for your absence during the day. They will miss you (dogs) or your laptop (cats), so they need to make alternate plans for the days you are at school. Also, if Zoom is coming back into your day-to-day, they will need grooming and voice lessons.
  1. Prepare your wardrobe. You are going to need work appropriate attire (sigh) and big person pants for the semester ahead. Have a pile of dry cleaning that you meant to drop off in May? Have a bunch of dry cleaning you did drop off in May? Drop it off, pick it up…. now.[1]
  1. Prepare your transportation. I don’t drive to work here in Boston because it would literally (seriously, not in the purely embellishing sense) take me longer than the train --and parking here is insane.[2] For me this means that I need to make sure my monthly subway pass is set to refill for the semester. It also means I need to get ready to have the beginning of my semester coincide with baseball season because I live on the train line that goes to Fenway Park. Bracing myself for the onslaught is a time honored tradition here. Did I mention I am a Yankees fan? Sigh. The good news is that the Red Sox do not seem to be in a position to ruin my commute past September this year, but we never assume anything here. If you do drive, make sure your vehicle is inspected, clean (ish-sand never comes out), filled with gas (or electrons) and stocked with healthy snacks and extra outerwear.
  1. Prepare and shore up your boundaries. We are givers-it is hard for us not to give as ASP’ers. Carve out your time now. Set up your calendaring app to keep some of your time (for exercise, scholarship, lunch etc.) sacred. And really keep it sacred.[3] As a corollary, go to your bathroom mirror and practice saying, “no” until it genuinely rolls off the tongue. It takes time, be patient with yourself.
  1. Prepare to enjoy the energy of a new year. We are academics because we love this stuff. Revel in it. Open a new box of binder clips, or pens. Fill your stapler. Get ready to learn something new, because if we aren’t learning, we aren’t teaching.

Have a great year everyone!

(Liz Stillman)

 

[1] That always reminds me of the theme song of the TV show Rawhide as made famous in The Blues Brothers, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtP7yH7l87w. Pick ‘em up, drop ‘em off…Rawhide. Yes, this is how my mind works….

[2] Even Harvard faculty cannot park in Harvard Yard because it is not a parking lot and it is actually in Cambridge, not Boston. Oh, and I don’t teach there. So many reasons….

[3] I am, admittedly, not good at this.

Passing the Torch

I loved the Olympic flag passing from France to Hollywood with Tom Cruise and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, probably because those are icons from when I grew up.  I had the CD with Californication and saw the original Mission Impossible in the theaters.  Between the LA Superbowl Halftime show a few years ago and that montage, I now feel like advertisements are targeting me, which may say something about my age.  I enjoyed the Paris Olympics, but it was time to transition to LA.  I feel like that time is now for the blog, so while I don't have Tom Cruise for an assist, I am passing the torch to a superstar in Academic Support, Goldie Pritchard from Michigan State University College of Law.

Many of you already know Goldie.  You may have attended one of her AASE presentations or interacted with her at numerous conferences.  She served both AASE and AALS in many capacities, including AALS Section of Academic Support board member and on the AASE bar advocacy committee.  She was previously a contributing editor on the blog, which is one of the reasons she was the choice to lead the blog.  Please join me in welcoming her to this new leadership role.  Here is her bio from Michigan State:

"Goldie Pritchard currently serves as Assistant Dean of the Academic Success Program and Adjunct Professor at Michigan State University College of Law. Pritchard is the founder of the current Academic Success Program which is now an integral part of the law college. Since 2009, she has supported law students as they navigate their academic careers and prepare for the bar exam by developing and implementing several programs, courses, and one-on-one interactions. She embraces the challenge of deciphering how to best support individual students as they prepare to become academically successful and succeed on the bar exam.

Pritchard is most proud of her work with non-traditional, diverse, and academically at risk students and cherishes those students she helped become lawyers who now serve clients in their respective communities. She assists and empowers students, particularly those who may or do feel disenfranchised by the law school experience, to adjust and succeed. Pritchard draws from her extensive experience in student affairs and academic support in multiple higher education settings to intersect her passion and professional duties. Pritchard also serves on academic support organization committees and volunteers her time to help students from across the country who were unsuccessful in passing the bar exam.

Pritchard received a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and History with a minor in French from the University of California Davis. She also holds a law degree from Seattle University School of Law and a master’s degree in Higher Education with an emphasis on College Student Affairs Leadership from Grand Valley State University."

Goldie has great insight and advice for both students and ASPers.  I am confident you will enjoy her leadership.  I can't wait to read and see where she takes this opportunity.

Associate Professors of Academic Success and Bar Preparation (multiple positions)

SOUTHWESTERN LAW SCHOOL in Los Angeles invites applications for full-time entry-level or experienced Associate Professors of Academic Success and Bar Preparation. These non-tenure-track positions can lead to a long-term contract. AS/BP faculty vote on virtually all issues in faculty meetings, serve on faculty committees, are eligible for summer research stipends, and those who are productive scholars are eligible to apply for sabbaticals. 

AS/BP faculty work with students from pre-matriculation through the bar-study period. They teach our summer Bison Bootcamp program and serve as bar-study coaches for graduates. They teach the 1L Foundations of Law & Practice course, which instructs students about core law school skills, like reading cases and statutes, note-taking and classroom engagement, rule synthesis, outlining, and exam-taking techniques. They also teach upper-level bar prep courses.

We seek candidates who are passionate about teaching and can demonstrate success in the classroom, love working with students outside the classroom, and are willing to contribute to the campus community through committee and related service.

In addition to our on-campus programs, we offer a mostly asynchronous online J.D. program with full-time and part-time options. We hope many faculty we hire in the coming years will teach in that program.

Founded in 1911, Southwestern is an ABA-accredited, independent law school located in the center of Los Angeles. Our mission includes educating lawyers ready to serve clients, the profession, and our society with excellence, empowering students to reach their potential, cultivating inclusion and belonging, and shaping the law and public policy through teaching, scholarship, and service. 

To apply, please send your CV, professional references, research agenda, and preferred areas of teaching via email to [email protected] and put "Faculty Application" in the email subject line. Review of applications and AALS FAR forms will begin in mid-August. Initial interviews will be held via Zoom, and callback interviews will be held in person.
