Associate Professor of Law, Legal Practice

Georgetown Law seeks a full-time faculty member to teach in the first-year Legal Practice program. The position starts July 1, 2025. The faculty member will teach two sections of the first-year course. Each section meets with the professor two hours per week. Professors are responsible for selecting their own texts, designing course materials, assigning student grades, and supervising law fellows. Legal Practice faculty at Georgetown also teach a two-hour weekly seminar with six law fellows, who serve as teaching assistants for the first-year students.

Candidates must have superior academic records and expertise in legal research, writing, and analysis. Three years of professional experience beyond law school and teaching experience is strongly preferred. Applicants should include a letter of interest, a CV, a list of three references, a writing sample, and (for more recent graduates) a law school transcript.

Materials should be submitted via our faculty search portal. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis and are due no later than Monday, November 1, 2021. Early submission is strongly recommended.

Please feel free to reach out to Prof. Michael J. Cedrone, Chair of the Legal Practice Committee (mjc27@georgetown.edu) or to any of Georgetown's Legal Practice faculty with any questions about the position or the application process. 

Notes on Disclosures:

Position Duration: After successful initial contract renewals, the faculty member will have the option of applying to move to the tenure track.

Salary: Salary will be commensurate with experience. The position is eligible for research funds, summer writing grants, leaves, and sabbaticals on the same terms as all faculty.

Students per Semester: Class sizes this year are around 60 students per professor. However, the Administration has committed to bringing these numbers down, hoping to reach 50 first-year students per professor for 2025-26.
