The University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law (McGeorge), invites applications for a faculty position as Assistant Professor of Law, Legal Practice in our legal writing program, Global Lawyering Skills. The candidate hired into this position will teach some of their courses in the Global Lawyering Skills program, a three-semester program focused on legal research,
writing, analysis, oral advocacy, and other lawyering skills. A record of teaching and scholarship is preferred, and all candidates should be eager to join a collegial, intellectually engaged, and student-oriented faculty.

McGeorge law is a wonderful community with friendly people, a vibrant intellectual culture, and a beautiful campus. Our programs in international law, advocacy and dispute resolution, and government lawyering are innovative and well known. Our location in Sacramento, the capital of California, offers the opportunity to be part of a robust legal and policy-making community. As a relatively small city by California standards, Sacramento also has a close-knit legal community and several interesting residential neighborhoods, as well as a well-developed arts and restaurant scene.

The University of the Pacific recognizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion are foundational to the success of our students and employees.
