Ave Maria School of Law seeks applicants for a tenure-track position to begin in the 2018-2019 academic year. The school’s greatest curricular needs are business law subjects such as Contracts, Business Organizations, and Uniform Commercial Code courses. Applicants must have a Juris Doctorate or equivalent degree and a strong academic record. Duties will include teaching, scholarship, and service to the law school.

Ave Maria offers students a distinctive legal education marked by the integration of the Catholic faith and the law. Students are trained to reflect critically on the law and to understand that all areas of legal practice serve the common good. The law school emphasizes the importance of faith and community among its faculty, staff, and students, and seeks applicants attracted by, and supportive of, its mission. 

 Ave Maria has an increasingly diverse student body and desires to provide students with faculty role models and mentors of shared background and experience. As such, we particularly encourage applications from women and members of underrepresented groups within the profession.

Ave Maria is located in Naples, Florida along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Naples has been recognized for its healthy lifestyle and excellent quality of life, and is known for its cultural activities and institutions as well as for its many and varied natural attractions.
