Tulane University School of Medicine Hiring for CLINICAL ASSISTANT OR ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF LAW >>> at Tekari, Bihar, India

Tulane University Law School seeks to hire one or more full-time Clinical Assistant or Associate Professors of Law in its clinical programs, including in the Civil Rights and Federal Practice Clinic (Civil Rights Clinic).

Since its founding in 1981 as the Civil Litigation Clinic, the Clinic’s faculty and student attorneys have provided free, excellent representation to hundreds of low-income individuals who have experienced discrimination or other civil rights violations within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Our docket includes a wide range of claims and protected classes, and our areas of focus have been fair housing, Title VII, Americans with Disabilities Act, and Section 1983 actions (including misconduct by police and prison officials). The Civil Rights and Federal Practice Clinic is open to third-year law students. They enroll for the full academic year and earn nine credits: three for the required fall-semester seminar and six for client advocacy (three per semester).

Tulane’s eight clinics, all run by full-time faculty, reflect the school’s strong culture of public service. The clinics serve a dual mission: to provide both a capstone experiential learning experience to extremely motivated students and exemplary legal advocacy to people in under-resourced areas.
