The University of the District of Columbia, David A. Clarke School of Law (UDC-DCSL) seeks candidates for the position of Instructor in the UDC-DCSL HIV/AIDS Juvenile and Special Education Law Clinic. This position will provide an opportunity for a practicing lawyer to gain experience in clinical law teaching. Responsibilities will include supervision of students' client representation, co-teaching a classroom seminar and case rounds, and course planning and preparation with the Director of the clinic, Professor Joseph Tulman. Students and faculty supervisors in the Juvenile and Special Education Law Clinic represent children and parents (or guardians) primarily in special education matters. Over the past sixteen years, the clinic faculty pioneered and developed a nationally-acclaimed approach to addressing the problems of delinquency by supplementing traditional delinquency representation with, where appropriate, advocacy to address the special education needs of the children who are the subject of those delinquency proceedings. By arranging for children to receive needed special education services, clinic professors and law students ensure that the delinquency system responds appropriately to the children's needs for care and rehabilitation. In a large number of cases, the clinic is able to protect children from punitive responses or to extricate children from the delinquency system altogether. A Juris Doctor Degree and membership in the D. C. Bar or membership pending is required. All candidates will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, martial status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, familial status, family responsibilities, matriculation, political affiliation, genetic information, disability, source of income, place of residence or business. The Residency Preference Amendment Act of 1988, D.C. Law 7-203, created a system which provides that any applicant for employment in the Career or Educational Services who is a bona fide resident of the District of Columbia may claim a residency preference at the time of application. An applicant selected for appointment based on District residency will be required to submit proof of bona fide District residency. Bona fide District residency must be maintained from the date of appointment to the position for five consecutive years. This position will remain open until filled. No telephone calls, please.
