Western State College of Law (WSCL) at Westcliff University invites applications from entry-level and lateral candidates for a tenure-track faculty position as Director of Clinical Education, beginning July 1, 2023. The Director of Clinical Education will have the opportunity to develop a new legal clinic in a field that will be determined by the Director’s interest and passion, to work with a highly diverse group of motivated students in developing the clinic, and to teach in other areas of interest in the law school curriculum. The ideal candidate will have experience teaching, training, and supervising students or junior attorneys in a clinical or other experiential learning setting; a commitment to teaching excellence; California Bar membership or an interest in becoming licensed in California; and a demonstrated potential for productive scholarship. We are particularly interested in candidates who will enrich the diversity of our faculty and welcome applications from women, underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, LGBTQI+ individuals, veterans, and others whose backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints would contribute to the diversity of our institution.
WSCL is located in the city of Irvine, California – close to miles of famous beaches, parks, recreation facilities and outdoor activities as well as the many museums, music venues, and diverse cultural and social experiences of greater Los Angeles.
Founded in 1966, WSCL is the oldest law school in Orange County, California, and is a fully ABA approved for-profit, private law school. Noted for small classes and personal attention from an accessible faculty focused on student success, WSCL is proud that our student body is among the most diverse in the nation, with a majority of our students from minority backgrounds. In our 50+ year history we have nearly 12,000 alumni and have had over 150 judges elevated to the bench. Our alumni are well represented across public and private sector legal practice areas.
