Southern Illinois University Simmons Law School invites nominations and applications for the next Dean. We seek a dynamic, experienced leader with a demonstrated understanding of legal education, institutional growth and development, and the current and future challenges facing law schools.
SIU Simmons Law is a small regional public law school with a strong past and a bright future. We just celebrated our 50th anniversary, successfully completed our ABA reaccreditation site visit, and received a $10 million gift. Our students have experienced many successes too, including winning a national moot court competition two years in a row. We are looking for a Dean who will capture the moment of these successes and guide us into the future.
Founded in 1973, with the goal of serving the area's unmet legal needs, we hold true to our foundational motto: "Established in the public interest, serving the public good." As the only public law school in the area, we pride ourselves on providing an accessible, collegial learning environment that transforms students into practice-ready lawyers and community leaders. This transformative process incorporates a robust focus on teaching, innovative research and advocacy projects, a pro bono requirement, and experiential learning. Our clinical programs and externship opportunities hone students' skills and offer access to justice for many who would otherwise go without legal assistance. Our law library is the primary public legal research resource for the southern portion of the state.
