After practicing law and perhaps specializing in a particular area for several years, you cannot help but think, “I wish they had taught me [blank] in law school.” You start to wonder whether you could teach a class at a local law school. Here are some tips for pursuing such an endeavor.
The hiring process
Start by taking a look at the law school’s course catalog and perhaps the most recent semester schedules to determine which courses best match your areas of expertise and experience. If you know a faculty member at a local law school, talk to that person to see if he or she knows if the school is looking for adjuncts to teach in these areas. The faculty member can also tell you who hires adjunct professors. At Golden Gate University School of Law, and at many law schools, the associate dean for academic affairs hires adjunct professors, typically in consultation with faculty members who teach in related areas.
