Job Description:
American University, Washington College of Law is seeking applications for a Practitioner-in-Residence for AY 26-27 in the Immigrant Justice Clinic. This is a term faculty appointment. The appointment dates are September 21, 2026 to June 30, 2027. American University’s in-house, “live-client” Clinical Program, comprising eleven (11) in-house clinics and serving nearly 200 students per year, is respected for its leadership in scholarship, development of clinical methodology, contributions to increasing access to justice for under-served clients and breadth of offerings.
The Practitioner-in-Residence Program, created in 1998, is a program designed to train lawyers or entry-level clinicians interested in becoming clinical teachers in the practice and theory of clinical legal education. Many graduates of the Practitioner-in-Residence program (over 25) have gone on to tenure-track teaching positions at other law schools. Practitioners supervise student casework, co-teach weekly clinic seminars and case rounds, and engage in course planning and preparation with the clinic’s tenured faculty. They also teach a course outside of the clinical curriculum. The Practitioner-in-Residence Program provides training in clinical theory and methodology and a writing workshop designed to assist Practitioners in the development of their scholarship.
Minimum qualifications include a JD degree, outstanding academic record, three years’ experience as a lawyer and membership in a state bar. The annual salary for the position is $90,000.
Applications that include a curriculum vitae and cover letter should be submitted online via Workday. Please contact Erica Devine, Faculty Affairs Manager, at [contact details available in the full listing] if you have any general questions regarding the application process and contact Professor Binny Miller, Associate Dean for Experiential Education, at [contact details available in the full listing] , for any other questions about the position.
