Price Professor of Public Interest Law Department Description:
University of San Diego School of Law. Recognized for the excellence of its faculty, curriculum, and clinical programs. University Description:
The University of San Diego, an engaged and contemporary Catholic institution, was founded by the Diocese of San Diego and the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1949. Governed by an independent board of trustees since 1972, USD remains committed to a liberal arts education grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition and the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Inspired by this centuries-old tradition of Catholic higher education, the University welcomes people of all faith traditions and any, or no, religious background. Detailed Description:
The University of San Diego School of Law invites applications from academic entry-level and lateral candidates for the Price Professor of Public Interest Law, a full-time, clinical tenured, or tenure-track position beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year. We seek applications from candidates with scholarly distinction or promise and a commitment to excellence in teaching and policy advocacy. The Price Professor of Public Interest Law serves as the Executive Director of the Centers for Public Interest Law. Those Centers include three academic and advocacy entities: the Consumer Protection Policy Center (CPPC), the Children’s Advocacy Institute (CAI), and the Energy Policy Initiatives Center (EPIC). Historically, the position has involved substantial academic writing, including major texts on child law (Child Rights and Remedies) and consumer rights law (Regulatory Law and the Public Interest). It also includes both academic articles and informational publications. The position has involved extensive research, public education, legislative advocacy, and regulatory advocacy on a variety of public interest issues; impact litigation; community relations; and fundraising for the three Centers. Each of the Centers has one or more courses, plus clinics. The Centers each teach and study in their respective subject areas, track legal and other events relevant thereto, and participate in public education and advocacy. The latter includes offices with staff serving as legislative counsel for CAI and CPPC in Sacramento and a third such office for CAI in Washington D.C. The Centers have originated over 200 state and federal statutes, agency rulemaking across many issues, and appellate litigation with over 40 published holdings. The Price Professor of Public Interest Law is to be a person with an established record of public interest law scholarship and/or advocacy, devoted to the principles of democratic accountability, fairness and equity in legal and political processes, and open government. The experience and interests of the person filling the chair should focus on concerns and groups that are diffuse and inherently unorganized, and hence under-represented in the legal and political process, including in particular consumers, the environment, children, and the dispossessed.
