New York Law School invites applications for full-time visiting faculty to teach in its Legal Practice program. Legal Practice is a foundational two semester course that all day and evening division students take in their first year. Through client-centered simulations and assignments, the course introduces students to fundamental lawyering skills in context, including critical reading, legal analysis, predictive and persuasive writing, legal research, client interviewing, counseling, negotiation and oral advocacy.

Visiting Assistant Professors will work collaboratively with the program director and faculty to design classes and prepare simulations, writing assignments and other course materials.
Applicants must have a JD degree, bar admission, at least two years practice experience, and a demonstrated commitment to and affinity for teaching.
