Visiting Professor – Legal Methods
The University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law seeks applications for a visiting professor to teach in the Legal Methods program for the 2019-2020 academic year. Legal Methods is a rigorous, required first-year legal research, writing, and analysis course. The visiting professor will teach Legal Methods I (fall, three credits) and Legal Methods II (spring, two credits) with approximately thirty-six students each semester. The visiting professor will work closely with our Legal Methods Faculty, including the Director of Legal Methods.
Memphis Law has a strong interest in hiring a visiting professor who would contribute to the Law School’s commitment to providing a broadly diverse campus community. Applicants should have an outstanding academic record, demonstrated excellence in legal research and writing, and excellent communication skills. Applicants should also have a strong desire to teach legal research and writing to first-year law students, as well as a desire and ability to work collegially in a collaborative environment. Applicants must have a J.D., bar admission, and at least two years of practice experience. Teaching experience is desired but not required.
The base salary will be $60,000 for a nine-month visiting appointment. Tennessee does not have an income tax, and, in several different surveys, Memphis consistently ranks in the top ten for having one of the lowest costs of living in the United States.
Applicants should send the following materials to Jodi Wilson, Director of Legal Methods, at Jodi.Wilson@memphis.edu: a letter of interest, a resume or CV, and a list of three references. (Please include “Visiting Professor Application” in the subject line of the e-mail.)
