The UW Law School seeks an instructor to teach Legal Research & Writing (LRW) courses, beginning in fall 2021. This typically includes teaching two sections of our 3-credit-hour required LRW courses, which cover legal analysis and reasoning, research sources and strategy, predictive and persuasive writing, oral presentations, advocacy, and other related lawyering skills. The courses engage students in active learning and are designed to simulate law practice. Additionally, the instructor may teach upper-level or other skills courses, as needed.
This is a full-time, 12-month, renewable position. Instructors are expected to work on campus during regular business hours throughout the year, except on vacation and leave days. The university plans to resume in-person instruction fully in fall 2021, with health and safety measures in place.

We commit ourselves to the pursuit of excellence in teaching, research, outreach, and diversity as inextricably linked goals. The University of Wisconsin-Madison fulfills its public mission by creating a welcoming and inclusive community for people from every background - people who as students, faculty, and staff serve Wisconsin and the world.
