Lecturers, Part-time Temporary, Law School

Description

Baylor Law School periodically seeks to appoint adjunct faculty to address instructional needs across a range of curricular areas.  Teaching opportunities for the upcoming academic year may include courses in labor law, creditor’s rights, franchising, and business succession planning.   Baylor Law places a high priority on in‑person instruction; accordingly, preference will be accorded to candidates who are able to conduct all or most of their class sessions on campus.

Baylor law also periodically has needs for attorneys who can coach moot court, mock trial, transactional, and other competition teams.  These coaches are treated as adjunct faculty. 

The Law School welcomes expressions of interest in all areas of law and particularly encourages applications from all qualified candidates.

As part of the Baylor family, eligible employees receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, generous time off, tuition remission, and outstanding automatic retirement contributions. To the extent that a faculty or staff member is benefits eligible, Baylor has a comprehensive benefits plan that supports you and your family's wellbeing and allows you to be a part of the life of a vibrant and active college campus.
