    INTRODUCTION


    The University of Connecticut School of Law seeks candidates for the position of Assistant Clinical Professor of Law to teach in its first-year Legal Practice Program ("LP Program"), commencing in the fall of 2024.

    The LP Program at UConn Law School is an integrated three-term, seven-credit program that provides experiential training in legal writing, legal research, negotiation, interviewing, counseling, and oral advocacy.


    This position affords an opportunity to teach Legal Practice during the fall and spring semesters and interterms; to develop curriculum and assignments to advance students' lawyering skills; to teach in a classroom setting; and to teach through experiential, and simulated lawyering exercises.

    Although LP professors work collaboratively, each LP professor has significant discretion with respect to the organization and management of their sections of the LP course.


    The UConn School of Law is especially interested in candidates who will add to the diversity of our faculty and community.

    We welcome applications from underrepresented groups and other candidates with experiences, backgrounds, and viewpoints that will enrich the diversity of our institution.
