Georgetown Law School
Clinical Fellowship
The Federal Legislation & Administrative Clinic is currently accepting applications for a Graduate Teaching Fellow for 2015-17. The Fellow will be one of two Teaching Fellows/Supervising Attorneys who help supervise students and work with the Director on all aspects of running the clinic. See below for a description of the Clinic and the Fellowship, and information on how to apply.
The Clinic
The Clinic trains students (10-12 each semester) to be effective "legislative lawyers" – lawyers who use legal skills to advance public policy through the legislative and executive branches of government. The Clinic's core work is our representation of non-profit organizations in their advocacy before Congress and federal departments and agencies. Client organizations and issues are chosen for their capacity to offer Clinic students the best opportunity to get actively involved, on behalf of the clients, in the federal legislative and administrative processes. Current and recent client organizations are the Women's Refugee Commission, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the National Women's Law Center, and Families Against Mandatory Minimums.
Student work for clients includes a wide range of activities, such as: analyzing and researching legislative proposals and their potential impact on existing law; preparing advocacy materials; drafting legislative language and explanatory materials; preparing for and participating in meetings with coalition partners and with decision-makers on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch; and advising the client on policy and strategy questions.
The Clinic experience also includes a seminar on Congressional and administrative processes, as well as relevant skills (e.g., written and oral advocacy, collaboration, and negotiation). In addition, the Clinic runs several intensive written and oral exercises throughout the semester, including a two-week simulation of a Senate committee markup. During the simulation, the students role-play U.S. Senators charged with drafting and marking up legislation to address a pressing national problem.
For more details about the Clinic, see the website at: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/academics/academic-programs/clinical-progr...
The Fellowship
Each Fellow is responsible for supervising five or six J.D. students enrolled in the Clinic—generally, one client "team." Supervision of students' client work includes guiding students on research and analysis, editing and providing feedback on drafts of written work, and preparing students for meetings and advocacy on behalf of the clients. The Fellows hold weekly one-on-one meetings with each student, meet frequently with the students' client teams, and are generally available as resources and guides.
The Fellows also help design and teach Clinic seminar classes, work closely with Director on running Clinic exercises and evaluating student performance, provide extensive written and oral feedback on the students' exercises, and generally collaborate with the Director on the operation of the Clinic.
New Clinic Fellows also enroll in a year-long seminar called Elements of Clinical Pedagogy. The seminar meets monthly and is taught by experienced Georgetown clinical faculty.
The Fellowship provides Fellows an opportunity to prepare for a career in teaching and to enhance their own legislative lawyering skills. In addition, upon completion of the Fellowship, Fellows receive a Master of Laws in Advocacy.
How to Apply
To apply for the Fellowship, please submit a resume, law school transcript, writing sample, and cover letter setting forth your interest in the Fellowship by December 1, 2014 for the 2015-17 Fellowship. Superior writing skills and a strong academic background are required. Experience in teaching and legislative lawyering is highly desirable. Candidates should have at least one year of relevant experience beyond the J.D. degree (e.g., clerkship, government/Hill experience, or private/non-profit practice).
Fellows must be admitted to a Bar prior to commencing the Fellowship. Those Fellows who are not members of the D.C. Bar must apply for admission by waiver upon accepting the Fellowship offer.
Please direct application materials to: Professor Judy Appelbaum, Director, Federal Legislation & Administrative Clinic, Georgetown University Law Center, 600 New Jersey Ave, N.W., Room 340, Washington, D.C. 20001. Please send an electronic copy of all application materials to the Clinic's Executive Assistant, Loretta Moss, at email@example.com.

Georgetown University Law Center Domestic Violence Clinic
Graduate Teaching Fellowship
Description of the Fellowship
The Georgetown University Law Center's Domestic Violence Clinic hires one person to serve as a clinical teaching fellow and supervising attorney each year, for a two-year term. Fellows have several areas of responsibility, including: representing victims of family abuse in CPO cases; designing and teaching Clinic seminar classes; and supervising third-year law students in their representation of clients. The fellowship experience is designed to develop fellows' skills as clinical law professors and launch them on a career in clinical law teaching; all of our fellows who have sought teaching jobs over the past decade or more have successfully obtained a position. Throughout the program, fellows also receive extensive supervision and training on their litigation skills, providing them with a substantial opportunity to improve as public interest lawyers.
Clinic fellows also pursue a program of graduate study, through a seminar titled Introduction to Clinical Pedagogy, taught collectively by the Georgetown clinical faculty. Fellows also may audit regular law school courses. Finally, during the first year, fellows also are members of the Women's Law and Public Policy Fellowship Program, where they have an opportunity to collaborate with lawyers doing a variety of women's rights legal work in Washington, D.C.
The Clinic prefers, but does not require, applications who have a background in family law, domestic violence, or poverty law and who have some trial practice experience. Fellows must have excellent oral and written advocacy skills, and must be admitted to a Bar prior to being offered a position in the program. Those fellows who are not members of the D.C. Bar must apply for admission by waiver upon accepting the fellowship offer.
Description of the Clinic
Students in the Domestic Violence Clinic represent victims of intimate abuse in civil protection order ("CPO") cases in D.C. Superior Court. The Clinic provides students with an intensive, challenging education in the art of trial advocacy, extensive hands-on experience with family law and poverty lawyering, and the opportunity to alleviate a crucial community need for legal representation. Through course work and client representation, students are exposed to every phase of expedited civil litigation. Students also learn to navigate the criminal justice system by working, in cases where it is consistent with their client's wishes, with the U.S. Attorney's Office in prosecutions against those accused of abusing Clinic clients.
Students litigate to obtain Civil Protection Orders ("CPOs") that last for up to one year and can include a broad spectrum of relief designed to effectively end the violence in a family or dating relationship. For example, in a CPO, a judge may direct a batterer to cease assaulting and threatening the victim; to stay away from the victim's home, person and workplace; and not to contact the victim in any manner. The judge may award temporary custody of the parties' minor children, with visitation rights for the non-custodial parent, and award child and/or spousal support, so that a victim is not forced to return to a batterer due to economic necessity. Finally, each semester students develop a group project focused on improving law, policy, or community education, that is designed to expose them to bigger picture ways to pursue social justice for their chosen client base.
To prepare students to appear in court, Clinic faculty provide intensive instruction in evidence, civil procedure, and legal ethics, as well as the civil, family, and criminal law applicable to domestic violence litigation. In the seminar class, students participate in exercises designed to develop and refine essential litigation skills such as conducting direct and cross examination, delivering opening statements and closing arguments, introducing exhibits into evidence, and conducting negotiations. In addition, students hear from expert guest speakers on topics such as the psychological dynamics of battering and victimization, immigration and domestic violence, and counseling programs designed for the perpetrator community.
Application Process
Please complete an application (http://www.law.georgetown.edu/academics/centers-institutes/wlppfp/us/USa...), and submit it both to the Domestic Violence Clinic, c/o Chase Whiting (firstname.lastname@example.com), and to the Women's Law and Public Policy Fellowship Program (firstname.lastname@example.com). Please be sure to indicate your interest in the Domestic Violence Clinic on your application. Applications must be submitted by Friday, November 14, 2014. Selected applicants will be contacted to schedule interviews in December or January, and selection will occur shortly thereafter. Start date is in early July, 2015, and the fellowship lasts for two years, terminating in June, 2017.

Further Particulars
Homerton College invites applications for a full or part-time (at least 0.5 fte) College Lectureship and Fellowship in Law with effect from 15 September 2014. The person appointed will take responsibility for the Directing of Studies and some of the core teaching for undergraduates taking the Law Tripos.
The salary scale for College Lecturer appointments is on the National Spine from Point 28-35 £28,973 - £35,596 (pro rata) and is pensionable under USS.
College Lecturer appointments at Homerton carry permanent contracts (post holders also serve as College Teaching Officers). The first eleven months of the appointment are probationary with a review in the tenth month of employment. During the probationary period the College will ask a senior Fellow to act as a mentor to the new College Lecturer. After two annual increments there will be a further review by the Fellowship Committee of Council, which is intended to monitor progress before the College Lecturer can proceed further up the salary scale.
Opportunities may exist at a future time for any successful applicant to apply competitively for future lectureships in the University of Cambridge in their area of speciality.
Homerton College (http://www.homerton.cam.ac.uk) was refounded in London in 1854 by the Congregational Board for Education. The College moved to Cambridge in 1894 and took over buildings of the former Cavendish College. The College currently admits 9-12 students per year in Law, though may increase this number in future years. Homerton is a large, mixed College with 600 undergraduate members and about 200 full-time higher degree students and a similar number part time. The College is situated to the south of the city centre and has attractive buildings and grounds close to the railway station. There is a good bus service from Homerton to the Sidgwick site where the Faculty of Law is located.
Applicants should normally be able to teach at least three subjects forming part of the Law Tripos at the University of Cambridge, at least two of which should be Foundation subjects. The College's needs lie in particular in the following areas: Tort, Contract, Land, Crime and Equity. Further information on the Law Tripos can be found at http://ba.law.cam.ac.uk
College Lecturers are expected to engage in research in Law, to supervise undergraduates reading for the Law Tripos and to help select students from among those applying to read the subject. A full-time College Lecturer would be expected to provide up to twelve hours' supervision per week during Full Term or 240 hours across the teaching year, for students at Homerton or possibly other colleges (part-time workloads would be assigned on a proportional basis to full-time expectations). Supervision in a subject involves meeting with students, setting and marking an essay (or other piece of work), for which the supervisor provides a reading list, broadening students' perspective on the subject and providing a termly written progress report. Selection of applicants of places commonly involves conducting interviews with each applicant, reading written work and setting a task for applicants to complete at interview.
As a Director of Studies, a College Lecturer has formal responsibility for advising students studying Law, for arranging appropriate supervisors for each course and for reviewing students' progress, particularly through individual meetings at the beginning and end of each term. The Director of Studies carries particular responsibility for admissions, and represents the College at inter-college subject moderation meetings. He or she advises the College Librarian on what books should be held in the College Library. As Director of Studies, a College Lecturer will be paid a core fee of £700 plus £110 p/a per student.

Brooklyn Law School Seeks to Hire Two (More) New Clinicians
Our New Clinic: Advocates for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities.
Last month, BLS was thrilled to receive a generous grant of $1,000,000 from the Taft Foundation, the largest ever received by BLS for clinical programs. Through this grant, the Taft Foundation aims to support legal services to adults with intellectual disabilities.
With this four-year grant, the Law School will establish a new program—Advocates for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities [AIDD]. This program will provide legal assistance to adults to plan for their futures; to safeguard their health and financial and personal security; to assure their access to employment, housing and benefits; and to assist their families, if necessary. The clinic also will partner with other organizations to work on policy and litigation matters, and develop community education projects.
BLS now seeks to hire two new full time clinical teachers, a Faculty Director and a Staff Attorney. We are eager to launch our new clinic so applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. Although we will try to fill the Director position first, and would like to do so as quickly as possible, applicants interested in the Staff Attorney position are encouraged to apply now also. Both positions will be 12-month contracts; salary will be commensurate with experience within the budget of the grant.
Faculty Director: Whoever is hired for this position must have the vision and creativity to establish a new, dynamic program that will teach and inspire students to become caring and competent lawyers for this community while meeting the goals established by the funder to provide meaningful legal services. This is the first law school clinic specifically dedicated to this population in New York City. The Director will develop the fieldwork component and the companion seminar, supervise clinic students and client matters, as well as make connections and build bridges with other legal and non-legal organizations and communities working in this area. The ideal candidate should have a minimum of eight years of practice experience working in disability law or a related field, as well as a track record of supervising students and young attorneys, and some administrative and strategic planning experience. Prior teaching experience is an advantage. Admission to or the ability to waive into the NYS bar is a requirement.
Staff Attorney: The Staff Attorney will be responsible for supervision of the students and case handling. The position requires a minimum of two years ofpractice experience representing individual clients in any area, although work in disability law or related matters will be a plus. The staff attorney also will be involved in teaching the seminar component. Admission to the NYS bar is required.
Brooklyn Law School's Clinical Program
Brooklyn Law School is extremely proud of its experiential learning and professional legal education curriculum comprised of a broad array of in-house clinics and externships – 29 programs at last count. We offer one of the most diverse, extensive, and comprehensive programs in the country. An integral component of the upper class curriculum, the programs take full advantage of our ideal location, extending the campus to every state and federal courthouse and hundreds of government agencies, law offices, and business organizations throughout New York City.
BLS clinic students assist inmates on death row, represent asylum-seekers, advise new media start-ups and community organizations, represent low-income co-op boards to purchase and maintain affordable housing, and secure unemployment insurance and debt relief for individuals in need. Students also have opportunities to mediate disputes in courts and schools. They may travel to a correctional institution to interview a witness or to a Wall Street law firm to conduct a deposition.
More than 90% of our students participate in at least one clinic or externship, a participation rate that recently persuaded the faculty to adopt a practice-course graduation requirement.
Our clinics are taught by full-time faculty members and skilled adjunct professors – a total of 45 dedicated and experienced practitioners and teachers. In our 24 in-house and hybrid clinics it is the students who performs all of the lawyering tasks, including conducting trials, hearings, closings, depositions, arbitrations and mediations, and arguing appeals in both State and federal courts. Students learn to exercise sound legal judgment, engage in problem-solving strategies, and take responsibility for decisions just as any licensed attorney would.
We are proud that the excellence of our clinical program has been recognized with numerous awards from the legal community and grants from public agencies and private foundations. To adapt to the new changes and developments in the legal profession, we add new clinics every year that address cutting-edge legal topics.
Clinical faculty members at BLS participate in all aspects of the intellectual life of the Law School, serve on committees, and attend faculty meetings. Ours is a warm and inclusive academic community generally. Clinical education is strongly supported by the administration and the nonclinical faculty. Our resident clinical faculty members are very experienced teachers, supervisors and mentors who are active in both the national clinical teaching community and the New York City legal community as members of bar associations and committees. Their expertise is sought by media and by law schools throughout the U.S. and abroad.
If you are interested in applying for either of these positions, please send a letter of interest, a resume and a list of at least three professional references to Associate Dean Stacy Caplow, firstname.lastname@example.com. Please indicate for which position you are applying and your availability to begin work. Brooklyn Law School is an equal opportunity employer.

The University of Pennsylvania Law School's Gittis Center for Clinical Legal Studies invites applicants for the position of Clinical Supervisor and Lecturer in its Civil Practice Clinic. The successful applicant will begin on July 1, 2014. The Civil Practice Clinic (CPC) is Penn's oldest in- house, live client clinic. It enjoys a long and distinguished history of providing high-quality, legal assistance to indigent clients in a broad range of civil litigation matters, while promoting the professional development of students who serve as the front-line lawyers for their clients.
The Clinical Supervisor and Lecturer will work closely with the Director of Clinical Programs and other CPC faculty in all activities, including course planning, teaching, supervising and mentoring law students, representing clients, and coordinating with other providers of civil legal assistance in the local community.
The Clinical Supervisor will assist CPC students in developing and enhancing core competencies needed for successful lawyering, including client interviewing, case planning, client counseling, fact development, problem solving, legal research and writing, ethical decision-making, negotiation, and trial presentation skills. Students are certified by state and federal courts to engage in all aspects of lawyering under faculty supervision and they provide legal assistance individually and in teams on matters of critical importance to their clients, such as housing, consumer, family law, employment, education, civil rights, and civil forfeiture. Students also participate in weekly "case rounds" discussions of their cases where they engage collaboratively in problem solving on difficult substantive and ethical issues that arise in the course of litigation.
The position is a contract position that is annually renewable up to a maximum of 5 years. It is the Clinic's goal and expectation that the selected candidate will receive training, mentoring, and experience in all aspects of teaching, supervising, and running a successful litigation clinic that will enable the individual to pursue a career in legal academia, if desired, upon completion of service at Penn Law School.
The successful applicant will be a Pennsylvania licensed attorney (or eligible to practice law in Pennsylvania under bar admission rules) who has five or more years of experience in civil litigation, a strong commitment to promoting access to justice, and a demonstrated interest in nurturing student development. The successful applicant will possess excellent organizational, communication, and advocacy skills and will be someone who works well independently and as a member of a team. A record of strong academic achievement, commitment to improving society, and intellectual engagement with the law are essential. Teaching experience (or a passion for teaching), creativity, strategic thinking, and demonstrated ability to work with diverse and economically disadvantaged clients are highly valued. Review of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. The University of Pennsylvania is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.
