Assistant Professor of Law or Associate Professor of Law
The University of North Dakota seeks to hire a full-time legal writing professor for a tenure-track position to begin in the 2025-26 term. UND’s LWI disclosure form is attached.
The UND School of Law has a unitary tenure track. All faculty members who teach legal writing enjoy the same status as the rest of the law faculty, with parity in salary and benefits, rights to the tenure and promotion process, the same voting rights, eligibility for sabbaticals, eligibility for summer research stipends, eligibility for professional development travel funds, eligibility for funds for research assistants, rights to the same office space and support staff, and the same academic titles, as appropriate per appointment and promotion.
Legal writing professors teach one section of 1L objective writing in the fall and one section of persuasive writing in the spring, which are under 20 students each. Additionally, legal writing professors teach one other upper-level course each semester, depending on their interests and the needs of the law school. These can be seminar courses, podium courses, or upper-level legal writing courses.
To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by August 29, 2024. Please include the following materials:
- Cover letter
- Current C.V.
- Law School transcripts.
I am the chair of the Faculty Selection Committee, so you are welcome to contact me with any questions you may have about the position.
