Come be my colleague! Idaho Law is hiring a tenure track torts / PR person for Boise
As you may have read in the news, the University of Idaho College of Law just received the "go-ahead" from the ABA to launch a full three-year law school in Boise in addition to our full three-year law school program in Moscow. (The Boise program currently houses 2Ls and 3Ls). As a result, we are hiring! Here is a brief description from the chair of the hiring committee and a link to the official description:
We at the University of Idaho College of Law are doing an out-of-season hire for a torts/PR professor in our Boise location. This person will be part of our new expansion to a second location (from our original home in Moscow, Idaho). This person will be part of teaching our first 1L class in the Boise location. The package includes Torts I, a four-credit first-semester class covering mainly negligence, and Advanced Torts, a three-credit upper division class covering products liability, strict liability, defamation, and some business torts. Professional Responsibility is also part of the package. A fourth course to complete the package will be subject to negotiation with the dean. The search committee includes David Pimentel (chair), Monique Lillard, and Shaakirrah Sanders. Please feel free to direct questions to any of them. And, please do pass this message along to anyone that you think may be interested or qualified. You can view the posting here: https://uidaho.peopleadmin.com/postings/17163
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
