From an email message that I received in recent days:
California Western School of Law (CWSL) is seeking applications from lateral candidates for one tenure or tenure-track position to begin on or about August 1, 2021. We are looking for candidates with strong academic backgrounds, a commitment to excellence in teaching, and demonstrated potential to be productive scholars. We specifically are interested in an experienced instructor to teach Torts beginning in Academic Year 2021-22, and particularly welcome applications from individuals who would contribute to the vibrancy and diversity of our faculty.
Established in 1924, CWSL is an ABA accredited and AALS member, non-profit law school, and has the distinction of being San Diego’s oldest law school. At CWSL we pride ourselves on the diversity of our student body. This year, around 50% of our incoming students are from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. We are committed to having a faculty that reflects our student body and our community. CWSL continues to rethink the status quo in legal education – balancing a rigorous practical education with cutting edge scholarship and community service. As a result, our graduates have a reputation for being uniquely practice-ready.
CWSL is located in downtown San Diego, literally overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A city of breathtaking beauty, we have perfect weather, miles of beaches, and nearby mountains. We are a family-friendly, diverse city with small city traffic and walkable neighborhoods.
Application materials should include a cover letter, C.V., research agenda, and a diversity statement that addresses how you will contribute to CWSL’s goal of creating a diverse faculty. Please direct application materials and questions to the chair of the Appointments Committee, Professor Ken Klein, at the following email address: appointments@cwsl.edu. INTERESTED APPLICANTS SHOULD SUBMIT THEIR MATERIALS AND AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST NO LATER THAN APRIL 8, 2021.
