The law school particularly welcomes candidates who are interested in contributing to our continued growth and success through the development of LL.M. and other advocacy-related programs.

A question [re. the SMU posting]... if one is a potential lateral and is not so "out" as to be in the FAR, but the committee does not want individual expressions of interest, what is one to do?
Posted by: Potential Lateral | Aug 21, 2015 11:29:33 AM
SMU Dedman School of Law is conducting two searches:
Entry-level and lateral candidates will be considered for available faculty positions in Property/Energy/Natural Resources Law, Tax Law, Labor Law, Evidence/Criminal Law, Torts/Employment Law, Intellectual Property Law, Family Law and other areas.

The Ellen Solender Endowed Chair in Women and the Law will be awarded to an individual who has demonstrated outstanding teaching, research, and community service in gender-related issues, including attention to advancing the cause of women in legal education and the profession of law. We anticipate appointment at the rank of full professor.

Hello all. I have posted a reminder about this thread, have deleted all comments that say "bump the thread," and would suggest three things.
1. Remember that all of the previous year's information is still available, and easily findable on this blog. For example, one could look at last year's hiring committees spreadsheet and see that only 49 schools were listed total. This year we are at 47 already. (As of August 18, there were only 35 schools on the 2014-2015 spreadsheet.)
2. Please don't post the comment "bump the thread." This is not a thread on a message board where posting "bump" automatically moves the thread to the top. It is a blog, where posting "bump" automatically generates in an email in my inbox. I promise I haven't forgotten about the thread. Trust me that it is a conscious choice (perhaps not a good choice, but a choice) about how often the top of the blog features one of these hiring posts.
3. Take a deep breath. The hiring process is long.

I am the chair of the search committees for both tenure-track and non-tenure-track faculty for the Department of Business Law & Ethics at Indiana University, Kelley School of Business (Bloomington). Other members of the tenure-track search committee are Todd Haugh, Josh Perry, Eric Richards, and Scott Shackelford. Other members of the non-tenure-track search committee are Tim Fort, Arthur Lopez, Joel Rubin, and April Sellers.
We are not limited in our search by subject matter, but we are in some need of bolstering our teaching in the areas of cybersecurity and/or sustainability/environmental law. We will hire at least one tenure-track and at least one non-tenure-track (teaching) position.
Candidates can send packets to me, but all application materials must be submitted to the following application portal to be fully considered for positions:
http://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/1594 (tenure track)
http://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/1595 (non-tenure track)
To learn more about the 18-member Department of Business Law & Ethics, see here: https://kelley.iu.edu/BUSLAW/index.html
Those with questions feel free to e-mail or call me at at the contact information found on the postings or the Department website.

I'll be chairing the appointments committee this year at Wayne Law. We're looking to fill one or more positions; we'll take an especially hard look at people in the areas of civil procedure, commercial law, health law, labor and employment law, property, and tax, but we're interested in outstanding people in any field. Packets are welcome; contact me by email at [email protected].
