The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University invites applications for two full-time positions commencing in August 2027 to teach first-year and upper-level courses in the College of Law’s #1 ranked Legal Method and Writing program. Both entry-level and experienced candidates are encouraged to apply. 
By hiring two additional faculty members, we will be able to keep our class sizes small and offer students the attention and feedback that are the hallmarks of legal writing pedagogy, as well as engage in the innovative initiatives that define the culture of ASU.
