Description of Work
The University of Nebraska College of Law invites applications to direct and teach in a clinic in First Amendment Law. The clinic, supported by a generous grant from the Stanton Foundation, will focus on the rights of speech, press, and assembly, and involve direct representation of parties in litigation.
Responsibilities will include managing a client caseload, supervising a resident paralegal and the client work of third-year law students, developing and delivering relevant course instruction, and liaising with the Stanton Foundation to ensure long-term funding.
The position is full time and includes a two-year appointment as a Lecturer (three year appointments are for Lecturers who have been continuously employed by UNL as Lecturers for at least 6 years). Continued appointment after that time will depend on the candidate’s success and continued funding. To ensure the clinic is able to be offered in the fall semester of 2026, the Assistant Director should be available no later than July 1, 2026. Salary is commensurate with experience.
