Tenure Track Faculty: School of Law

Overview

Quinnipiac University’s School of Law invites applications for several faculty positions to join our collaborative community and make a significant impact by inspiring and mentoring students. We welcome both entry-level and lateral candidates. Areas of particular curricular need include Evidence, Family Law, Criminal Law (in light of anticipated curricular growth and alignment with the Next Gen bar exam), and additional interests may include Contracts, Civil Procedure, Business Organizations, Commercial Law, Trusts & Estates, and Academic Excellence / Bar Preparation.
