Teaching Fellow - Corporate Governance and Practice LLM, Stanford Law School🔍School of Law, Stanford, California, United States📁Academic📅Aug 14, 2024 Post Date📅104240 Requisition #

Stanford Law School offers multiple specialized LLM programs to international students who have practiced law outside the U.S. The Corporate Governance and Practice LLM program admits approximately 20 students annually. Working under the supervision of Professor Michael Klausner, Faculty Director of the program, the Teaching Fellow will assume significant academic, advising, and administrative responsibilities for these students. Applicants for this fellowship are sought for a two-year commitment, starting in summer 2025, with a possibility of extending for one year by mutual consent and approval.

The Teaching Fellow will be responsible for teaching two courses: one on corporate law from an economics perspective; and another on corporate law practice. The latter course will include outside speakers from practice. The fellow will also organize other academic and social events, and will be responsible for managing the Corporate Governance and Practice LLM program on a day-to-day basis, advising LLM students on academic and career issues, responding to inquiries from prospective LLM applicants, screening and admitting applicants, and interacting with faculty in support of the LLM program goals. The fellow will have the support of and work with the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs, the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, the Executive Director of the International Law Programs, and the Associate Dean for Admissions. Although this is a full-time position, the fellow should be able to spend approximately half his or her time conducting their own research.

Qualifications:

• Candidates for this position are expected to have strong academic records and references.

• Professional experience in corporate practice is required, with two or more years of such experience preferred.

• A JD from a US school is preferred but candidates with an LLM or JSD will also be considered.

• In the past, people who have held this position have used it as a step toward a tenure track position at a law school. We have a preference for candidates with an academic career in mind but this is not a requirement.

How to Apply:

1. Submit your application online via the Stanford Careers (https://careersearch.stanford.edu/ - reference job number: 104240)

2. Send the following materials via email to Jim An at jamesan@stanford.edu: a cover letter (addressed to Professor Klausner), an official law school transcript, a resume/CV, copies of any publications, and the names of and contact information for three professional references (at least two law professors).
