The Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center is pleased to announce that it is currently seeking applicants for one or more visitors for the 2021-22 year to teach Torts and other core courses in the law school curriculum. Torts is a year-long three-credit per semester course at Touro. A visitor will be expected to teach two courses in each semester.
A candidate must have a J.D. degree from an ABA accredited law school and a commitment to teaching in an environment dedicated to excellence in teaching and mentoring of students. We look for innovative faculty with a preference for both practice and teaching experience. Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to service to legal education and to the wider community as well as a desire to engage in the intellectual life of the Law Center. With one of the most diverse student bodies in the country, Touro Law Center is dedicated to the aims of diversity and strongly encourages applications from women and minorities.
While Touro hopes to return to in-person teaching beginning in Fall 2021, issues related to the pandemic may result in teaching being remote. Applicants should be willing and available to perform the role in either modality.
