The UNT Dallas College of Law welcomes applications from experienced lawyers, judges, and law school instructors who are interested in serving as an adjunct faculty member during the term of Spring 2026.

The UNT Dallas College of Law is a public law school in downtown Dallas with a full-time day division and a part-time evening division. The College of Law’s goals are:

• (1) widening access to legal education for those who could be superb legal professionals but who cannot realistically access a legal education given factors including location, cost, and the current role of the LSAT in admission to and financing of law school;
• (2) providing an educational program focused on excellence in developing practice-related competencies, through a curriculum mapped to those competencies and using best instructional practices, including multiple formative and summative assessments throughout, engaged class design, and a spectrum of experiential education;
• (3) creating opportunity for our students by keeping tuition and debt low and producing graduates with high value and ability in multiple segments of the market for legal services;
• (4) becoming a national leader in advancing understanding of best legal education practices, of professional formation, and of the relationship between legal education and the evolving practice and business of law;
• (5) improving access to justice for underserved legal needs; and
• (6) serving as a valuable partner in civic engagement with the City of Dallas and the North Texas region.

• The appointments will be as Adjunct Faculty to teach one course each in the Spring 2026 semester.

Adjunct faculty members are a critical part of the College of Law’s learning community, and they will be involved in curricular and co-curricular activities and programs relating to student learning and professional formation throughout law school. Because the educational program will strive for excellence in developing practice-related competencies, adjunct faculty members will be expected to follow the instructional and curricular practices of the College of Law, including use of the Canvas Learning Management System, learning outcomes, multiple assessments, and research and writing modules within a course, as appropriate, with support from other faculty as well as research librarians.

The College of Law will support adjunct faculty in these areas by providing training, course design expertise, and learning management system support.
