Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor of Law

CUNY • Queens, NY • 1d ago

FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

The City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law seeks a candidate for a (unitary) tenure track appointment to teach in our required Lawyering Program (1 L and 2L) as well as elective courses in Technology and the Law and related areas, including Artificial Intelligence and the Law. The Committee will consider appointments at all levels for qualified candidates, including laterals. Appointment will begin Fall 2027.

CUNY School of Law is a national leader in progressive legal education, being top ranked for public interest law and for clinical programs. CUNY is also the most diverse law school in the nation, in terms of both faculty and student body, and has a three-year full-time day program and a four-year part-time evening program.

CUNY School of Law's mission is two-fold: training public interest attorneys to practice law in the service of human needs and providing access to the profession for members of historically underrepresented communities. The Law School advances that dual mission through an innovative curriculum bringing together the highest caliber of clinical training with traditional and experiential doctrinal legal education to train lawyers prepared to serve the public interest. The basic premise of the Law School's program is that theory and abstract knowledge cannot be separated from practice, practical skill, professional experience and the social, cultural, and economic @context of law. The curriculum, therefore, integrates practical experience, professional responsibility, theoretical perspective, and lawyering skills with doctrinal study at every level. The Law School faculty and administration are committed to providing academic and bar support to all students. They also perform teaching, research, and guidance duties at the CUNY School of Law in their areas of expertise.

Responsibilities include supervising students in legal practice or related activities, and sharing responsibility for committee and department assignments as well as administrative, supervisory, and other functions. The primary responsibility of each hire will be to teach law students in the courses and clinics stated above, along with other courses as part of a course package. For candidates in doctrinal areas, they must have backgrounds representing, or scholarship related to, the topics in which they seek to teach. Candidates for faculty positions in Skills and Clinic should be prepared to discuss their scholarly interests. All individuals hired for these positions must address through their teaching an approach that integrates anti-oppression, liberation-oriented pedagogy to develop social justice lawyers capable of defending the lives of historically vulnerable populations, as well as inculcating in students the values of professionalism, civil discourse, strategic and zealous advocacy, and ethics and integrity. In dialogue with the Academic Dean, all faculty at CUNY School of Law are expected to teach other subjects as needed, including in our required Lawyering Program on a rotating basis, and are expected to teach in both the day and evening programs on a rotating basis.

QUALIFICATIONS

J.D., L.L.B., or Ph.D. in a law-related discipline. Also required are demonstrated or promised evidence of significant success as a faculty member; interest in productive scholarship or law-related work; ability to teach successfully; and ability to cooperate with others for the good of the institution.

Additional Qualifications:

At least five (5) years of practice experience in the relevant subject areas;

(For applicants seeking to teach in a clinic or in the Skills area) at least three (3) years of clinical or skills teaching or related practice experience;

Admission to a bar of one or more of the states or territories of the United States;

Social justice lawyering experience and an ability to bring this experience to their teaching;

Candidates should also demonstrate promise of success in faculty governance, and in other ways that build and strengthen the institution.

Law Professor: $126,394 - $204,291

Law Associate Professor: $107,620 - $167,062

Law Assistant Professor: $91,971 - $136,606
