SOUTHWESTERN LAW SCHOOL in Los Angeles invites applications for multiple Adjunct Associate Professors to teach in our mainly asynchronous Online J.D. Program. Courses are offered in the fall, spring, or summer terms. The first teaching opportunity is Fall 2027, with development starting in Fall 2026. Possible areas of immediate and long-term need include Alternative Dispute Resolution, IP Law and Practice,
Cybersecurity Law, Immigration, Mass Media Law, Motion Picture Law, Products Liability, Sports Law, Medical Malpractice, Estate Planning, and Taxation. This part-time position involves creating an asynchronous online J.D. course. Adjunct faculty will develop the course curriculum, learning objectives and outcomes, syllabus, reading and learning assignments, video lectures, assessments (e.g., quizzes, papers,
projects, exams), problem sets, discussion questions, and other learning activities. Adjunct faculty will meet regularly with an experienced instructional designer over several months. Instructional designers support adjunct faculty by assisting with course design and facilitating the design of learning activities, and course content. Meetings with the instructional designers will be scheduled at mutually convenient
times, including evenings and some weekends. Faculty who live in the Los Angeles area will be able to record videos in Southwestern’s on-campus studio. Those who live outside of L.A. will be able to create videos from their home office. All adjunct faculty will work closely with members of our media production team to create engaging, high-quality videos. The completed course will undergo a review process before it
is finalized to ensure that classes meet all standards of the law school, the online education team, and our accreditors (the American Bar Association and the Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC)).Faculty will initiate work on their course at least 6 to 8 months before the course begins to ensure sufficient time for course development and review. We anticipate that the course development process will take
6 months to complete and require approximately 8 to 11 hours of work per week. The time commitment varies based on the number of units in the course and whether the instructor has taught the course previously. The course development process also includes periods when our instructional designers and video production team work on aspects of the course and when program leadership reviews the materials.Once the course
