Howard Law School in Washington DC is inviting applications for a two-year visiting faculty position in its Criminal Justice Clinic starting in August 2015.  The year-long defender clinic represents adults charged with misdemeanor offenses in the District of Columbia Superior Court, and emphasizes a holistic approach to advocacy with a focus on treatment options, mental health support, and reentry concerns.  The visitor will have the title of Visiting Assistant (or Associate depending on experience) Professor of Law and will supervise students in the clinic for the year. Because at Howard all clinicians also teach doctrinal courses in their area of expertise, the visitor may be asked to teach a seminar or other course during the time at Howard.  Candidates should have a strong academic and practice background, with experience in, or capacity for, teaching in a law school clinical setting.  We are looking to make a decision fairly quickly, so applications will be accepted now and continuing until the position is filled.  Please send a cover letter, resume or CV or any other inquiries to:
