Clinic Staff Attorney Position

UC Davis School of law is seeking an attorney to serve as staff attorney/lecturer for three clinical programs: Immigration, Civil Rights, and Prison Law. The three clinics share a common client group: immigrants who are detained in jails, immigration detention facilities, or prisons. Working in cooperation with the other clinical supervising attorneys, the attorney will supervise students who represent such persons in administrative or judicial proceedings. The attorney also will lead seminar discussions and critique students in their interviewing, counseling, negotiation, drafting, legal research and trial advocacy skills.

Experience in immigration law and/or federal litigation preferred. This is a fulltime year-to-year appointment in a non-tenure-track lecturer position. Spanish language skills are desired. California State Bar membership is preferred, or the applicant must otherwise be eligible to practice in Immigration Court, with a commitment to complete the California Bar examination during 2006.

Please send a resume and cover letter by November 15, 2005, to Professor Bill Hing, Chair of the Faculty Appointments Committee, School of Law, University of California, 400 Mrak Hall Drive, Davis, CA 95616.
