Myth versus Reality: Law School Professor Jobs

A. Harrison Barnes

Yes… you can be a law professor if you are already a lawyer. Want to see if there are any law schools out there that are interested in you? We can help you contact all the law schools in a given area of the United States and find out—very quickly—if they have any interest in you. Researching all the contact information for various law schools could take you weeks. In less than a week, we can have your resume on the desks of the Deans of the law schools you want to approach.

The job as a law school professor may not pay as much as working for a corporation or a law firm; however, this type of job can certainly be more rewarding. Here, you will have the opportunity to impart your wisdom to young charges seeking emotionally or financially rewarding careers in the law.

LEGAL MYTH:
It is impossible to find a position as a law professor.

LEGALAUTHORITY:
If you think it is hard finding an advertised position in a law firm or corporation, you are going to have to wait a long, long time before you find an advertised position to be a law professor. There are thousands of positions in law schools and many of these are filled each year because the law school simply receives an inquiry from an interested applicant. Keep in mind the teaching hours at law school are far better. The old adage of “you never know until you try” could not be more apropos for your search for a position as a law professor.

Confidentiality is a serious concern for any job seeker. That’s why we will provide you with the actual letters, for your signature, for you send out your materials to. Accordingly, you will never be contacting a law school you do not want to contact—or worse—your own law school. This is the way it should be. We will provide you with the contacts and you can run your job search with the letters, resumes, and so forth we prepare on your behalf.
