    Position Title Assistant/Associate Clinical Professor of Law Position Number School/Division School of Law Department Deportation Defense Clinic Full-Time or Part-Time Full-Time Description

    The mission of the Maurice A.

    Deane School of Law is to prepare, challenge and inspire our students to make a difference in the world while we advance important ideas through the legal academy, the profession and society - making an impact of our own.

    Since 1970, Hofstra Law has provided more than 13,000 students with an education rich in both the theory and experiential skills needed to produce outstanding lawyers, business executives, and community leaders.

    The Maurice A.

    Deane School of Law at Hofstra University is pleased to invite applications for Assistant/Associate Clinical Professor of Law ("Clinical Professor") to direct our Deportation Defense Clinic ("DDC").


    The Deportation Defense Clinic was established at Hofstra after the 2016 presidential election to protect those immigrants on Long Island who are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of increased deportation enforcement and will conduct that work in a number of ways.

    The Clinical Professor supervises law students in the representation of individuals at high risk of deportation, such as those with removal orders or those losing status due to new federal policies.

    The DDC engages in impact litigation and collaborates with existing community organizations and networks on non-litigation community lawyering projects in support of Long Island's immigrant communities.

    These projects aim to tackle the systemic issues often impossible to address through individual-client litigation.


    The Hofstra Law Clinic, where the DDC is housed, was established in 1973 and is an integral part of the Law School.

    The Law School has several additional clinical offerings, including three that also work with immigrant populations:
    Asylum, Immigration, and Youth Advocacy.

    The Clinical Professor will be responsible for all aspects of running the DDC, including, but not limited to, the following:


    • Planning and teaching the course seminar that accompanies the DDC;
    • Client selection;
    • Supervision and mentoring of law students in representing clients;
    • Community advocacy;
    • Community education and outreach; and
    • Clinic administration.
    Qualifications


    • Juris Doctor degree
    • At least five years of professional experience in immigration law
    • Demonstrated commitment to the field
    Preferred Quals Summary


    • Spanish fluency
    • Some teaching or supervisory experience
    Special Instructions

    Applications shouldinclude the following:
    a letter of application, CV, and the names and contact information for three professional references. Successful candidates will be required to provide official academic transcripts and professional letters of recommendation.


    All other questions can be directed to Lauris Wren, Director of the Hofstra Law Clinic and chair of the search committee at Review of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.

    Due to volume of applications, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted to participate in additional application processes as specific needs arise.
