From an ASP listserv posting by Professor Kris Franklin:
New York Law School is replacing its venerable Princliples of Legal Analysis ASP intervention classes with a series of curricular innovations that include a new style of Advanced Legal Methods course for all students, as well as additional course offerings to be rolled out over the next year or so.
Right now we are looking for a fairly substantial number of adjunct faculty members to teach in this new program. There will also be the possibility for some of these teachers to pick up other ASPish classes that we will be introducing in Fall 2017. Pay will be generous for adjunct salary, but of course, is not sufficient for full-time folks. Still, this is a great way for someone who wants to move into teaching to get a foot in the door with what will (I hope) be the support of an exciting and collegial training process.
If you know anyone in the NY area who might be a good fit for one of these positions, please pass on the job description below.
Course description: Designed to reinforce writing and analytical skills. Will be taught in small sections in day and evening divisions. Will incorporate frequent writing and homework projects for which adjunct faculty will provide individual feedback. Meets twice a week for 60 minutes. In addition, adjunct faculty should expect to attend weekly planning meetings for an additional 2 hours per week. Materials and sample class plans will be provided.
Requirements: JD and a minimum of five years of experience.
Salary: Highly competitive
To apply: Send a statement of interest, resume or c.v., and short writing sample to Ashley Oliver at Ashley.Oliver@NYLS.edu. Applications will be reviewed beginning August 1, 2016 and will continue to be reviewed until all positions are filled.
