Position Description

Primary Purpose and Essential Functions

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. We anticipate that this position will be offered based initially on term contracts but on a track to lead to an indefinite-term contract.

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.

McGeorge is an Equal Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, or protected veteran status. The McGeorge faculty has committed itself to undertake the work to transform itself into an anti-racist law school. Applicants who share that vision, and particularly those who would enhance the racial or ethnic diversity of the faculty, are strongly urged to apply.

The University of the Pacific recognizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion are foundational to the success of our students and employees. We prioritize policy and decision making that demonstrates awareness of, and responsiveness to, the ways socio-cultural forces related to race, gender, ability, sexuality, socio-economic status, etc. impede or propel students, faculty, and staff.

Minimum Qualifications

Juris Doctor or equivalent degree

Preferred Qualifications

Exceptional academic record
Demonstrated interest in teaching
Excellent writing and research skills
Excellent oral communication and interpersonal skills
Relevant practice experience
Demonstrated commitment to legal scholarship
Commitment to the vision, mission and core values of the law school

Experience and sensitivity in working with people of diverse backgrounds and cultures.
Demonstrated experience in advancing social justice, equity, and inclusion in a university setting.
Ability to engage and integrate culturally responsive practices and knowledge in their work.

Physical Requirements

The physical demands described here are representative but not definitive of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

This is an in-person role, and the successful candidate must be willing to relocate within California, preferably within 25 miles of the Sacramento Pacific campus.

Hiring Range

$130,000-$160,000 We consider factors such as, but not limited to, scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate’s qualifications, internal equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.
