The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law is Hiring!

Are interested in transitioning from practice to academia, or are you an academic looking for a new school?  The University of Arizona’s James E. Rogers College of Law is hiring in our nationally-ranked legal writing program.

I joined the UArizona faculty five years ago, and I can attest that it is a fantastic place to work. Our legal writing team is supported and valued by both the law school administration and the university administration. In fact, two of us hold major positions at the university! We are a team of innovative and productive teachers and scholars.  Some of our fun projects in the last five years include acquiring the nation’s premiere law journal on appellate matters, creating an “escape room” for students as a capstone fall semester project, participating in our international teaching programs in Mexico, and publishing multiple books.

In addition to the great experience teaching at UArizona, I have loved living in Tucson, which I did not expect. Although it can get hot at times, Tucson is delightful most of the year. Right now the mountains behind my house are green and full of life. There is hiking, biking, and even boating options not too far away. We recently bought a small camper and have been enjoying the numerous, beautiful state and federal parks near Tucson.

I have posted the complete job post below. Here is a link to apply: https://arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/4/home/requisition/10930?c=arizona 

Arizona Law’s nationally ranked, award-winning Legal Writing Program invites applications from entry-level and lateral candidates for a full-time position commencing in August 2023. We are excited to welcome a new member to our creative, collaborative, diverse team of lawyers, teachers, and scholars.

The position entails appointment as a Continuing-Eligible Professional or a Continuing Status Professional under Arizona Board of Regents Policy Manual section 6-302. The successful candidate will teach a section of our first-year Legal Research, Analysis, and Communication (LRAC) course each semester. Our Program includes the required five-unit LRAC course and many upper-division offerings. Our writing faculty also supervise our internal moot-court competition and coach moot-court teams.

Our writing faculty have full voting rights, commensurate with rank, and a voice in governance. We are eligible for summer research grants and sabbaticals. We serve on committees and in leadership positions. Although Continuing Status does not require scholarship, scholarship—broadly defined—weighs in evaluation and promotion decisions. Our Program also publishes the Journal of Appellate Practice and Process, and writing faculty are encouraged to serve a role on that publication.

The University of Arizona is a public land-grant university at the heart of beautiful Tucson, Arizona, home to the O’odham and Yaqui peoples. Committed to diversity and inclusion, the University is a federally recognized Hispanic Serving Institution. As part of a university ranked in the top 20 of public research universities in the nation, the College boasts myriad opportunities for interdisciplinary scholarship and is a truly global law school, with students around the world. The College embraces innovation, with groundbreaking degree programs like its first-in-the-nation BA in Law, novel curricular offerings, and diverse experiential opportunities.
