JOB OVERVIEW
**MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***. College of Law, an ABA-accredited law school, seeks lawyers and judges to teach courses to students on a part-time basis. The law school's adjunct faculty, drawn from the region's most distinguished jurists and practitioners, offers a wealth of practical experience and special expertise to our students.
