Villanova is Hiring

Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law is hiring one full-time faculty member to teach in its Legal Writing Program beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year. The position is a continuing non-tenure track position, offers a competitive salary, and may lead to successive long-term contracts of five years.

Legal writing faculty are responsible for teaching two sections per semester.  The year-long 1L legal writing course focuses on analysis and objective writing in the fall and persuasive writing in the spring.  In the 2L legal writing course, students choose to participate in the litigation or transactional track.  The litigation track focuses on appellate brief writing and the transactional track enables students to develop skills to allow them to represent clients who want to accomplish a goal other than winning a dispute in court.  In addition to teaching, Villanova Law legal writing faculty provide service to the Law School, University, profession, and community and are a vital part of the Villanova Law community.  They also have partial voting rights and serve on law school committees and in leadership positions.  Legal writing faculty are not required to engage in scholarship, but those who do receive support. The new hire will teach the 1L legal writing course and may teach the 2L transactional legal writing course, if needed. 

Interested applicants must send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and statement of teaching philosophy to [email protected].
