Look Who’s Hiring: Ohio State

Are you looking to join academia? Well, dust off that resume. Ohio State is hiring.

The Moritz College of Law is seeking a Visiting Assistant Clinical Professor to organize and operate an immigration clinic for an initial one-year trial period. The position is a one-year term position funded by an external gift. The gift recognizes that substantial need for immigration assistance exists in the central Ohio area, including among low-income communities that the donor is presently serving in other ways. The new immigration clinic aims to make a meaningful difference in the lives of a number of individuals in these local communities.

The Visiting Assistant Clinical Professor will have responsibility to develop the immigration clinic, including conducting an assessment of immigration law needs in central Ohio, building ties to community partners, and creating opportunities for the College’s third-year law students to contribute to these activities and earn course credit through participation in the immigration clinic. The Visiting Assistant Clinical Professor will teach up to 8 students per semester in a 4-credit course offering, with responsibility for course design, classroom instruction, and student conferences. The Visiting Assistant Clinical Professor will have autonomy over both clinical pedagogy and selection and handling of all cases; serve as counsel of record in all cases; and be the primary supervisor of the clinic students, who will be serving as student legal interns under the Ohio student practice rule.
