• Integrate anti‑oppression, liberation‑oriented pedagogy into teaching to develop social justice lawyers capable of defending historically vulnerable populations, and inculcate values of professionalism, civil discourse, strategic and zealous advocacy, and ethics and integrity.

• J.D., L.L.B., or Ph.D. in a law‑related discipline.
• Demonstrated or promised evidence of significant success as a faculty member.
• Interest in productive scholarship or law‑related work.
• Ability to teach successfully.
