Position description
UCLA Law School invites applications from individuals interested in teaching a specialty course in its advanced curriculum for the 2023-24 academic year. These are academic, non-tenure track, part-time, limited-term appointments.
Decisions will be made on a rolling basis and the timing of decisions will vary according to a variety of factors, including curricular need, course scheduling, and the particular specialty course the applicant proposes to teach.
The School is especially interested in applicants who have relevant experience for teaching courses in a broad array of fields. These include, but are not limited to, the following: legal research and legal writing/analysis, health law, trial advocacy, tax, entrepreneurship, entertainment law, intellectual property, criminal law and criminal procedure, professional responsibility, real estate, insurance law, wills and trusts, the judicial process, evidence, contracts and contract drafting/analysis, remedies, antitrust, and employment law.
Some of these courses may be offered to JD and LLM candidates, some may be directed solely to LLM candidates, and some courses may be targeted to students in our master’s degree program for non-lawyer professionals.
Applicants are encouraged to discuss in their cover letters their respective areas of professional expertise and the courses they have previously taught or propose to teach.
Requirements: A J.D. or equivalent advanced degree; excellent academic record; substantial, distinguished legal practice experience; experience within a distinct legal specialty; demonstrated commitment to teaching. Prior successful law school teaching experience strongly preferred. Applicants with prior teaching experience will be asked to provide teaching evaluations. UCLA School of Law seeks candidates committed to a campus climate that supports equality and diversity.
This position is represented by the University Council - American Federation of Teachers: https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/labor/bargaining-units/ix/contract.html. Internal candidates will be considered for reappointment prior to the consideration of external applicants.
Please submit a cover letter, resume, and the names and addresses for at least two professional references online at https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF08208. Applicants with teaching experience should also include their teaching evaluations, a summary thereof, or other testimonials concerning their teaching experience.
To ensure full consideration, applications should be received by March 15, 2023, but will be considered thereafter until the position is filled.
The actual pay rate for part-time positions will depend upon specific teaching assignments and number of units taught. Part-time lecturers can reasonably expect to receive total pay ranging from $1,340 per semester per unit (for assisting) to $4,021 per semester per unit (for solo teaching). Part-time lecturer salary rates are based on Table 15 of the UC Salary Scale (available here: https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/_files/2022-23/july-2022-salary-scales/t15.pdf).
