Job Description:

The University of Baltimore School of Law invites applications for a Clinical Teaching Fellowship in its Immigrant Rights/Immigrant Justice Clinic to start on or about July 1, 2026. This public interest fellowship program trains and mentors practicing attorneys who want to transition from law practice into clinical teaching.

The Immigrant Rights/Immigrant Justice Clinic represents low-income immigrants in a range of direct client representation and immigrant rights policy work, with a special focus on humanitarian immigration law matters and asylum cases. Our clients come from all over the world. Our students also, typically, do community work like offering intakes and consultations at Baltimore hospitals, giving tailored community education presentations to a variety of audiences, and occasionally engaging in legislative and policy work.

The Fellowship focuses its first year and a half on the skills of teaching, from crafting and leading seminars, to facilitating supervision meetings with student-attorneys. The second year of the fellowship focuses on developing legal scholarship. In the third year, we support the Fellow to go on the clinical teaching job market. In addition to teaching, supervision, and legal scholarship, the Fellow is responsible for case coverage over the summer and during the winter break. This position is a 3-year contractual appointment.

Required Qualifications: Excellent oral and written communication skills; at least two years of experience as a practicing lawyer primarily in immigration, including both defensive and affirmative work; a strong academic record and/or other indicia of high performance ability; commitment to work for low-income and immigrant clients; and a strong interest in teaching. Fellows must be members in good standing with the Maryland Bar or another State bar and willing to complete the necessary documentation to be permitted to supervise law practice by students. Ability to speak and write Spanish proficiently is not required, but is strongly preferred.

Salary: The current salary is $70,000 per year. The position includes regular benefits, including retirement contributions, research support, and a travel allowance to attend relevant conferences and workshops.

Position is open until filled, and applications submitted by March 15, 2026, will receive priority consideration. For more details about the Fellows' Program, please view our website at https://www.ubalt.edu/law/law-clinics/all-clinics/fellowships/index.cfm

We offer a competitive benefits package, including health, life, prescription, and dental plans, tuition remission benefits, paid leave (22 days of annual, 15 days of sick, 3 days of personal, and 14-15 holidays) and retirement plans with employer contributions. You can see more details on our benefits here. For the optional retirement plan, a defined contribution plan, the state has a contribution rate of 7.25%. This state contribution is made even if you do not contribute to your own retirement plan.
