From a recent email message:
Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, invites applications from candidates who can teach classes in the fields of Business and Commercial law, along with first year classes in Contracts or Torts. The position will begin in the 2025-26 academic year and will remain open until filled.
Lewis & Clark Law School is recognized as a national leader in Environmental Law and Legal Writing, has strong programs in Business Law and Criminal Law, and was recently included on a list of schools recommended for Civil Rights. Our campus faces a forested state park, and the region around our school offers the vibrancy of city life along with hiking, biking, skiing, and water sports in some of the most beautiful places in the country. Lewis & Clark is a great place to work.
We will begin screening interviews in September, and campus callbacks will take place shortly thereafter. Applicants who receive an offer will have two weeks to consider the offer. In some cases, an applicant may need to make a decision before other law schools have completed callbacks. Applicants should have serious interest in Lewis & Clark Law School and living in the Pacific Northwest. Interested persons should send a c.v., references, a writing sample, and an indication of specific teaching interests to [email protected]. We also welcome submission of a scholarly agenda and a description of how the applicant’s teaching and activities will contribute to an inclusive classroom and campus. More information about the law school can be found at https://law.lclark.edu/.
