Job Description for the Assistant Professor for Legal Method & Communications (Charlotte) position. Review job description, requirements, and qualifications. Apply or register interest for the position.

Elon University School of Law invites applications for two long-term contract faculty positions in our Legal Method and Communication (LMC) program in the new Flex Program in Charlotte, NC. LMC integrates coverage of fundamental legal analysis and writing skills with other lawyering communication skills, over three trimesters. The LMC program is a core component of Elon Law’s innovative Flex Program, which offers the JD program in 4 years through evening courses, with an emphasis on experiential learning. We seek colleagues ready and able to contribute with passion to this innovative approach to legal education.

Requirements for the LMC positions include a J.D. degree from an ABA accredited law school or the equivalent, good standing with a state bar or the equivalent, excellent writing skills, and a demonstrated interest in teaching. Preferred qualifications include prior experience teaching legal writing and other lawyering skills, law practice experience, and facility with technology in practice. These appointments will begin in August 2025 or January 2026, depending on the needs of our trimester schedule and candidates’ availability.

Elon Law strives to foster an inclusive intellectual culture that represents and encourages a broad range of intellectual traditions and approaches to the law. To combat historic inequities in the legal academy, we particularly encourage applications from candidates of color, women, LGBTQIA candidates, and other underrepresented groups.

Please direct questions about the program to Dean Liemer (sliemer@elon.edu) or to Professor Caroleen Dineen, Director of LMC (cdineen@elon.edu). All appointments are subject to the Provost’s approval. Review of applications will begin on February 10, 2025.
