Job Opening: T/TT Clinical Prof for Washington & Lee Immigrant Rights Clinic

Position Announcement
Washington and Lee University School of Law

Immigrant Rights Clinic

Tenure-Track Clinical Professor of Law - open rank

Lexington, Virginia

Position Description

The Washington and Lee University School of Law is excited to announce a search for a tenure-track or tenured faculty member to direct a clinic focusing on immigrant rights. A long-time leader in experiential legal education, W&L Law has invested significantly in clinics, externships, and practicum courses, and requires students to complete a number of experiential credits that significantly exceeds the minimum required for accreditation. We seek a legal education professional who will embrace and meaningfully contribute to our close-knit, collegial, and intellectually vibrant community. To that end, clinical faculty at W&L have full voting and governance rights.

W&L established its Immigrant Rights Clinic in 2013 and is excited to continue the clinic’s decade-long commitment to serving Virginia’s immigrant community in the Shenandoah Valley and beyond.  Consistent with the desire to address the pressing needs of immigrant populations in the U.S., the law school seeks a director dedicated to the cause of immigrant rights. We invite interested candidates to imagine this clinic with any substantive focus that will advance that goal. The clinical curriculum at W&L prioritizes a client-centered approach to clinical advocacy and teaching, but the precise focus of the clinic’s immigrant rights advocacy will depend on the experience and vision of the next director.   

We invite applications for a position as Assistant Clinical, Associate Clinical, or Clinical Professor of Law to begin July 1, 2025, or sooner. The ideal candidate will have several years of practice experience in the field of immigrant rights; a demonstrated commitment to fostering diverse and inclusive educational or work environments; experience in clinical pedagogy and excellence in the teaching and supervision of law students; and an interest in contributing to practical and/or scholarly conversations concerning immigrant rights.

Statement of Commitment to Diversity

Washington and Lee University School of Law promotes a dynamic and inclusive environment that allows students and employees of multiple backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives to learn, work, and thrive together. Successful candidates will contribute to that environment and exhibit potential for excellence in clinical teaching and in development and management of an in-house clinical program. In keeping with the University Strategic Plan, we welcome applications from candidates belonging to communities traditionally underrepresented in the legal academy.

Qualifications

A J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school or equivalent is required. Candidates for the position must demonstrate a record of academic excellence and substantial teaching or legal practice experience.

Application Instructions

Applicants should submit the following materials through the W&L Interfolio application portal at https://apply.interfolio.com/152482:  (1) a letter describing their interest in the position (including a short summary of the applicant’s vision or proposed model for the clinic, their experience promoting the immigrant rights issues involved in the clinic’s mandate, and their strategies for promoting inclusiveness in their teaching and service), and (2) a current curriculum vitae. Additionally, although traditional scholarship is not required for clinical tenure at W&L, it is encouraged and supported. Accordingly, applicants who have scholarly aspirations are welcome to submit a research agenda.

Please address these materials to Elizabeth Belmont, chair of the Faculty Appointments Committee. Additionally, please feel free to reach out to her with any questions you may have at:

Job Opening: Clinical Teaching Fellow at Cardozo

CLINICAL IMMIGRATION FELLOWSHIP

The Cardozo School of Law’s Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic is interested in hiring an attorney as a Clinical Teaching Fellow to begin in December 2024. Past fellows have generally had 3–5 years of practice experience prior to coming to the clinic and have generally worked with the clinic for 2–3 years. The annual salary for fellows is $75,000 with full benefits.

The Fellow’s core responsibilities would include a combination of the following:

• work on deportation defense or related cases in the immigration, federal, and state courts;

• work on impact litigation and advocacy projects with immigrant community-based and national advocacy organizations;

• supervision of clinic students on litigation and advocacy projects;

• assistance in teaching and administering the clinic seminar; and primary responsibility for the clinic docket during the summer session.

Past fellows have gone on to positions as clinical professors, executive directors of non-profits, managing attorneys of direct service immigration practices, and leadership positions in government, including a former fellow who was recently appointed to the Board of Immigration Appeals.

The Immigration Justice Clinic at Cardozo is an in-house year-long intensive live client clinic in which students represent immigrants in a variety of matters. Individual cases most frequently involve deportation/removal proceedings in the immigration and federal courts. Substantively, the clinic’s docket focuses primarily on immigrants facing deportation because of encounters with the criminal legal system and more generally on immigration enforcement issues. In addition, students and fellows have the opportunity to represent immigrant community-based and national advocacy organizations engaged in impact projects on cutting-edge immigration issues. Impact litigation and legislative advocacy are mainstays of the clinic’s docket. You can learn more about the clinic under the “Learn About Our Work” link at http://www.cardozo.yu.edu/immigrationjusticeclinic.

Immigration Article of the Day: Immigration Enforcement and Public Safety by Felipe M. Gonçalves, Elisa Jácome & Emily K. Weisburst

Immigration Enforcement and Public Safety by Felipe M. Gonçalves, Elisa Jácome & Emily K. Weisburst, NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH WORKING PAPER February 2024

Abstract

How does immigration enforcement affect public safety? Heightened enforcement could reduce crime by deterring and incapacitating immigrant offenders or, alternatively, increase crime by discouraging victims from reporting offenses. We study the U.S. Secure Communities program, which expanded interior enforcement against unauthorized immigrants. Using national survey data, we find that the program reduced the likelihood that Hispanic victims reported crimes to police and increased the victimization of Hispanics. Total reported crimes are unchanged, masking these opposing effects. We provide evidence that reduced Hispanic reporting is the key driver of increased victimization. Our findings underscore the importance of trust in institutions as a central determinant of public safety.
