Associate or Assistant Professor of Law Contract

The Appalachian School of Law invites applications from entry-level and lateral candidates for a full-time faculty position. The position
may be filled on either a tenure-track or continuing-contract basis. We will consider applicants with interests and/or experience in a wide
variety of subjects, but are particularly interested in applicants with experience in civil litigation, constitutional law, alternative
dispute resolution, natural resources law, legal writing, and/or an interest in clinical teaching, focusing on legal issues endemic to
Appalachia.

Candidates should have a Juris Doctor (or higher) degree. Candidates with relevant experience in private practice,
government service, or judicial clerkships are encouraged to apply; in fact, most of our faculty have significant practice experience.
Active law licensure in Virginia and/or Tennessee is a plus. Candidates should have a desire to advise and teach a student body which is
diverse with respect to socio-economic status, culture, and career paths. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job.
We would encourage you to apply for a faculty position at ASL even if you don’t meet every one of our preferred
qualifications. 

To apply: Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and three references by email
to personnel@asl.edu.

ASL will review applications as they are
received and applicants should submit all materials on or before June 15, 2024 for priority consideration.
