Western State College of Law (WSCL) at Westcliff University invites applications from entry-level and lateral candidates for up to two tenure-track faculty positions beginning August 1, 2022. We have particular interest in persons interested in teaching Business Organizations, Contracts, Sales, Evidence, Professional Responsibility, and Remedies. Candidates should have strong academic backgrounds, commitment to teaching excellence, and demonstrated potential for productive scholarship. 

WSCL is located in the city of Irvine, California – close to miles of famous beaches, parks, recreation facilities and outdoor activities as well as the many museums, music venues, and diverse cultural and social experiences of greater Los Angeles.

Founded in 1966, WSCL is the oldest law school in Orange County, California, and is a fully ABA approved for-profit, private law school. Noted for small classes and personal attention from an accessible faculty focused on student success, WSCL is proud that our student body is among the most diverse in the nation. Our 11,000+ alumni are well represented across public and private sector legal practice areas, including 150 California judges and about 15% of Orange County’s Deputy Public Defenders and District Attorneys.

WSCL is committed to providing workplaces and learning environments free from discrimination on the basis of any protected classification including, but not limited to race, sex, gender, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, national origin, disability, medical condition, marital status, veteran status, genetic marker or on any other basis protected by law.
