Essential Functions:

McGeorge School of Law invites applications for one (1) adjunct professor position in bar support. This position would be teaching a three (3) unit course on the Sacramento campus offered as part of the J.D. curriculum in bar support during the day. The adjunct professor selected through this posting will work under the direction of the Director of Bar Support and will teach bar support curriculum consistent with McGeorge standards.

Faculty‑student interaction, accessibility, and achievement of credit hour standards are the highest priorities. The adjunct professor will be responsible for ensuring that existing curriculum is taught in compliance with University of the Pacific and McGeorge School of Law policies, in coordination with McGeorge’s Director of Bar Support. Training, course materials, and other support will be provided. Non‑tenure‑track faculty members collaborate in fulfilling the University’s mission to provide a superior, student‑centered learning experience integrating liberal arts and professional education and preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities.

Part‑time faculty are appointed as needed by each unit and considered as less than full time annual appointment as specified by each unit. Part time is determined by the unit based on a comparison to year‑long appointments. Time of service on a part‑time appointment may not accrue to time for appointment with tenure. ( FHB 7.1.6). Appointments for full‑time non‑tenure‑track faculty members may be issued as single‑year or multi‑year terms, and may be renewable.

University of the Pacific recognizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion is foundational to the success of our valued students and employees. We prioritize policy and decision‑making that demonstrates awareness of, and responsiveness to, the ways socio‑cultural forces related to race, gender, ability, sexuality, socio‑economic status, etc. impede or propel students, faculty and staff.
