Description
The Fowler School of Law at Chapman University invites applications for one or more tenure-track faculty positions, to commence in August 2027. The appointment will be made at either the Assistant or Associate Professor rank, commensurate with the candidate’s qualifications and experience.
Chapman University is a nationally ranked, R2 Carnegie Classified, private institution offering traditional undergraduate and graduate programs in the heart of Orange County, one of Southern California’s most diverse and vibrant regions. Chapman’s campuses are home to nearly 10,000 students representing 50 states, three territories, and 78 countries. The 11 schools and colleges of Chapman, including the Fowler School of Law, offer 65 bachelors, 53 masters, and six doctoral programs, along with nearly 60 minors and 17 accelerated and bridge programs. Classes are taught by the more than 1,100 dedicated faculty members who are leaders in their fields, including a Nobel Prize recipient, MacArthur Fellows, National Medal of Science honorees, and Emmy, Grammy, and Academy Award winners.
Chapman University's Dale E. Fowler School of Law is an ABA-accredited, private law school located on the main campus in Orange, California, 35 miles south of Los Angeles.
The law school's high-caliber faculty includes three former U.S. Supreme Court clerks, a Nobel Prize winner, a former five-term U.S. congressman, and a former general counsel for a major Hollywood studio. The Fowler School of Law emphasizes personalized legal education. We are a strong academic community with connections to local, regional, national, and international lawyers' associations, a very high bar passage rate, a great record of students' employment after graduation, a low student-to-faculty ratio, curricular offerings with breadth and depth across multiple areas of specialty, and interscholastic moot court, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution teams ranked among the top of national law schools. Students especially value close connection with their professors, a vibrant and engaged co-curricular environment, and a technologically modern facility (including an electronically cutting-edge trial courtroom) located in easy walking distance to the coffee shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions of Old Towne Orange and Orange County, California.
