Department Summary

The UNT-Dallas College of Law welcomes applications from experienced attorneys who are interested in serving as Faculty Adjunct Assistants to assist the Full Time Professor in teaching Client Interviewing and Counseling or Negotiation and Conflict Management courses during the Fall 2025 semester.

The UNT Dallas College of Law is a public law school in downtown Dallas with a full-time day division and a part-time evening division. The College of Law’s goals are: (1) widening access to legal education for those who could be superb legal professionals but who cannot realistically access a legal education given factors including location, cost, and the current role of the LSAT in admission to and financing of law school; (2) providing an educational program focused on excellence in developing practice-related competencies, through a curriculum mapped to those competencies and using best instructional practices, including multiple formative and summative assessment throughout, engaged class design, and a spectrum of experiential education; (3) creating opportunity for our students by keeping tuition and debt low and producing graduates with high value and ability in multiple segments of the market for legal services; (4) becoming a national leader in advancing understanding of best legal education practices, of professional formation, and of the relationship between legal education and the evolving practice and business of law; (5) improving access to justice for underserved legal needs; and (6) serving as a valuable partner in civic engagement with the City of Dallas and the North Texas region.

Faculty Assistants/Adjunct faculty members are a critical part of the College of Law’s learning community and will be involved co-curricular activities and programs relating to student learning and professional formation throughout law school. Because the educational program strives for excellence in developing practice-related competencies, adjunct faculty members will be expected to follow the instructional and curricular practices of the College of Law.
