    BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW is hiring for its BU/MIT Student Innovations Law Clinic in the Intellectual Property & Media Practice Group.

    BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW (“BU Law”), a top‐tier law school with an international reputation, is a community of leading legal scholars, teachers, students, and alumni, dedicated to providing one of the finest legal educations in the world. Since our doors opened in 1872, we have admitted and enrolled accomplished students to our program regardless of their race, gender, and religion. The breadth and depth of our curriculum and scholarship as well as our innovative spirit are distinctive in legal education in the United States.

    BU Law invites applications from candidates for a full‐time Lecturer and Clinical Instructor to serve in its BU/MIT Student Innovations Law Clinic, a unique collaboration between BU Law and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where BU Law students represent currently-enrolled BU and MIT students on matters related to their innovative academic and extra-curricular activities. Clients routinely present cutting-edge questions in the areas of intellectual property, information privacy, cybersecurity, media law, and regulatory issues in health, finance, and other sectors. The Lecturer and Clinical Instructor will teach in the Clinic’s Intellectual Property & Media practice group, which focuses on issues related to copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, defamation, fair advertising, and related areas of content liability.

    Working closely with the other experiential faculty, the Lecturer and Clinical Instructor will teach and supervise law students engaged in direct representation of clients. This search is for a two-year non-tenure track Lecturer and Clinical Instructor position with opportunity for renewal contingent on performance and ongoing funding. The projected start date is July 1, 2024.

    The School of Law believes that the cultural and social diversity of our faculty, staff, and students is vitally important to the distinction and excellence of our academic programs. To that end, we are especially eager to hear from applicants who support our institutional commitment to BU as an inclusive, equitable, and diverse community.

    Required Skills

    The ideal candidate for this position is either an existing member of the Massachusetts bar or a member of another state’s bar who can waive into the Massachusetts bar. Also, the ideal candidate possesses at least three years of experience representing academically-oriented or very-early-stage business clients on issues related to intellectual property and related areas of law. Candidates with fewer years’ experience may be considered.

    The hired faculty member will be responsible for teaching in the clinic’s seminar on topics related to effective lawyering skills and substantive law, providing supervision to law students on a broad range of related topics, engaging with broader policy issues in the field of intellectual property; and participating actively in the administration of the Clinic’s law practice. Candidates should have proven experience and strong research and writing skills and should work well as part of a team. Important qualities include outstanding interpersonal skills, adept management of a large client docket with varying needs and issues, and a passion for work with creative and innovative clients. The ability to work sensitively with a diverse population of clients, students, and staff is essential.

    Experience working with academics, non-profits, and advocacy organizations and experience working in litigation, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance issues are pluses for consideration. Experience with clinical pedagogy is also preferred. Teaching and supervision experience are not required, though they may be given great value in the process.

    Boston University School of Law is dedicated to building a just, inclusive, and engaged community of faculty and students. We recognize we have more work to do to make our environment more just. Boston University School of Law is committed not only to the ideals of faculty diversity and inclusion but also to the work of creating and implementing practices that combat exclusion and inequity by race, gender, gender identity, disability status, religion, or other identities subject to historical subordination. We also strive to foster a more inclusive intellectual culture that represents and encourages a broad range of intellectual traditions and approaches to the law. We welcome expressions of interest from applicants of all identities, intellectual traditions, and perspectives.

    DO NOT APPLY USING THIS WEBSITE. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE BELOW.

The second year of the fellowship focuses on developing legal scholarship. In the third year, we support the Fellow to go on the clinical teaching job market.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE SCHOOL OF LAW invites applications for a clinical teaching fellowship in the Community Development Clinic, a transactional law clinic that serves under-resourced communities, to start on or about July 1, 2024. This full-time, year-round, 3-year public interest fellowship program offers superb mentorship and training as the Fellow transitions from law practice to law faculty, providing intensive support in the areas of clinical pedagogy, academic writing, and more. The CDC Fellow will join a cohort of approximately nine Fellows, each of whom teaches in a different clinic; many former Fellows have moved into long-term teaching positions at other institutions after completing their Fellowship. Because we value the diversity of our faculty and student body, we welcome all qualified candidates, including members of communities that are traditionally under-represented in the legal profession and academia.

    Electronic applications are required. Before starting or submitting an application, please save all required documents as a single PDF (preferred format) or Word document.

    To apply, visit http://www.ubalt.edu/candidate_gateway/erecruit.html.

    The position is open until filled, and required electronic applications received by March 22, 2024, will receive priority consideration.

    This posting is specifically for the Community Development Clinic (CDC) Fellowship, although Fellowships in other areas of practice may also be available; each position has its own application portal. The CDC provides transactional, regulatory, and other non-litigation advice to community-based nonprofit groups, to small businesses headed by low-income entrepreneurs, and to social enterprises, cooperatives, and other clients with challenging and unmet legal needs. Law students serve CDC clients as “first-chair" attorneys and receive 6 academic credits for their course work and client work. The Fellow's duties include guiding and supporting law students as they engage in client service for the first time; co-teaching the weekly seminar with other CDC faculty, including CDC Director Jaime Lee; and engaging with the local community to learn about its legal needs. During winter and summer breaks in the academic calendar, when students are not enrolled, the Fellow also covers client matters, including matters for other clinics that are within the Fellow’s expertise; handles additional CDC and clinical program duties as assigned; and develops their academic writing.

    This position is a full-time, year-round contractual appointment for three years. Because the CDC serves evening students, the Fellow will teach at least one evening each week during the fall and spring semesters, with daytime hours adjusted accordingly.

    For more details about the Fellows’ Program, please view our website at http://law.ubalt.edu/clinics/fellows/ .

    We look forward to receiving your required electronic application, including a letter of interest, resume, and brief statement about how your candidacy would support traditionally underrepresented communities in the legal profession and academia.

    Qualifications: Two years or more years of legal practice in transactional, small business, nonprofit, regulatory, employment, and/or community lawyering; exceptional listening and collaboration skills; a demonstrated interest in working for low-income clients and communities; and an interest in mentoring and/or teaching. Be a member of the Maryland Bar or be licensed in another state and willing to become administratively certified as a clinic supervising attorney under the Maryland Rules.

    Salary: The current salary is $70,000. The position includes full benefits, including retirement (while subject to change, in past years this has included a generous match) and tuition remission. Benefits are listed here (see under “Faculty and Regular Employees”): https://www.ubalt.edu/about-ub/offices-and-services/human-resources/benefits/index.cfm. In addition, this position includes research support (for example, research assistant support and/or book allowance) and a travel allowance to attend relevant conferences and workshops. Candidates interested in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program are encouraged to investigate whether employment at The University of Baltimore, a state educational institution, may qualify.
