Description

The University of Richmond School of Law seeks a full-time clinical faculty member to develop, run, and teach a clinic that would provide non-litigation legal services to small businesses, entrepreneurs, non-profits, authors, and artists on business transactions and intellectual property issues.  The Clinical Professor will play a major role in determining the clinic’s specific emphasis and operation.
 
The Law School has four other in-house clinics, over 60 external clinical placements, and a well developed, structured, sequential skills oriented curriculum.  The Law School is also home to the Intellectual Property Institute, which comprises three full-time research faculty members, that offers more than a dozen courses in intellectual property and a certificate program for J.D. students.  The Law School also participates in the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Law School Clinic Certification Pilot Program. 
 
Required qualifications for this position include a law degree, a license to practice in Virginia (or a willingness to become licensed), and significant experience in business transactions, small business start-ups, and intellectual property issues.  Entrepreneurial spirit and substantial organizational skills are a must.  Prior teaching experience is a plus but not required.
 
This is a non-tenure track, renewable contract position.  Salary and benefits will be commensurate with experience and scope of responsibilities assumed.  Starting date is flexible.  Interested applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and list of references to ccotropi@richmond.edu.
 
The University of Richmond is committed to developing a diverse workforce and student body and to supporting an inclusive campus community.
