The City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law seeks a highly qualified candidate for

Areas of particular interest include family law, including domestic violence and children's rights, with an ability to teach in both a classroom and clinical setting; torts; health insurance; property; community-based lawyering and small-firm practice; New York practice; and ability and willingness to teach in the law school's lawyering program.
CUNY School of Law is a national leader in progressive legal education with a dual mission of providing access to the profession for historically underrepresented communities, and training a diverse group of students to become excellent public interest attorneys. In the spring of 2007, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, in a national study of legal education, lauded CUNY School of Law's innovative curriculum, which has become a model for law schools across the nation. CUNY School of Law brings together the highest caliber of clinical training with traditional doctrinal legal education to create lawyers prepared to serve the public interest. As part of its mission, the law school prepares students to practice "Law in the Service of Human Needs."
Appointment to the CUNY faculty comes at an important time in the history of
our unique public service institution. In June 2012, the law school relocated to a new LEED Gold certified facility centrally located at Two Court Square in Long Island City, Queens. The
law school now has direct access to multiple New York City subway and bus lines, is convenient to regional commuter railroads, and is easily accessed by local highways. The new location, in a vibrant neighborhood one subway stop from Manhattan, puts the law school at the heart of the nation's public interest community in the most diverse city in the country.
The basic premise of the law school's program is that theory and abstract knowledge cannot be separated from practice, practical skill, and professional experience. Therefore the curriculum integrates practical experience, professional responsibility, and lawyering skills with doctrinal study at every level. First-year students acquire clinical experience through simulation exercises conducted in a required year-long Lawyering seminar; second-year students take an advanced one-semester Lawyering seminar in a public interest law area of their choice involving an expanded array of professional roles including advocate, mediator, transactional lawyer, and judge; third-year students earn 12-16 credits in either a Concentration, a unique seminar and field placement program, or a live-client clinic onsite at the Law School.
This position may include weekend and evening hours.
