Northern Kentucky University’s Salmon P. Chase College of Law invites applications for the position of Director of Academic Success and Bar Preparation, with an anticipated start date of August 1, 2025. This is a 12-month, full-time, non-tenure-track position, and it covers both academic support and bar preparation.
The Director’s primary responsibility will be to work with students to help them develop the skills needed to reach their full academic potential for performance in law school and on the bar exam. Responsibilities will include a mix of the following: (1) designing and implementing academic support programs; (2) designing and assisting with the law school’s bar exam preparation programs; (3) teaching the law school’s bar preparation course; and (4) teaching the two-semester Legal Methods and Legal Studies courses for NKU Chase’s first year students. The Director will also supervise the Assistant Director. Candidates must be willing to work some evenings, so as to be able to teach and provide academic support for students in the evening division.
Applicants must have a J.D., a strong academic record, excellent organizational and interpersonal skills, the ability to work collaboratively, and excellent communication skills. Experience in a law school academic support program or other relevant teaching experience is preferred. Candidates should also have an understanding of the dynamics of diversity (including first-generation college graduates) in higher education and a demonstrated ability to incorporate this understanding, as appropriate, in all levels of their work. Salary will be commensurate with experience, but we anticipate the salary being between $75,000 and $85,000 (plus full benefits) per 12-month year. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity be considered to teach additional courses for additional compensation.
Founded in 1893, the Salmon P. Chase College of Law has for over 130 years provided service to students and the legal community throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky, across region and throughout the nation. Long known as the “The Lawyer’s School,” Chase has served both traditional and non-traditional students throughout its history. Chase is fully approved by the ABA and is a member of the AALS.

Any questions can be addressed to Associate Dean for Experiential Learning Amy Halbrook at [email protected]. The application period will remain open until the position is filled.
