This just in from David Reiss:

We’re delighted to share that Cornell is hiring a transactional clinician for the Entrepreneurship Law Clinic and the Blassberg-Rice Center for Entrepreneurship Law. The job posting reads, in part,

Cornell Law School is soliciting applications for a full-time Clinical Professor (Assistant, Associate, or Full – rank commensurate with experience) to join the faculty of the Entrepreneurship Law Clinic (the ELC), starting in July 2027. This position will be based in Ithaca, New York.

This faculty member will work with Robert MacKenzie (also based in Ithaca) and me (based at the Cornell Tech campus in NYC).

The ELC, Cornell’s only transactional law clinic, is in its eighth year of operation. The ELC provides pro bono transactional legal services to startup businesses and entrepreneurs who are not yet ready or able to engage paid legal counsel, but who need assistance setting the legal foundation for their businesses. The ELC’s clients include both for-profit and not-for-profit businesses that are poised to create jobs, contribute to community economic development, and promote innovation. Some clients are local in their focus, and others have the potential to have an impact far beyond New York State. Law students working in the ELC gain practical experience in a variety of substantive legal areas including business structuring and entity formation, intellectual property, employment, immigration, finance and commercial contracts.

The full job posting is here. 

The application deadline is July 15. If you have any questions, feel free to contact David (david.reiss@cornell.edu), Robert (ram563@cornell.edu) or Associate Dean for Experiential Education, Estelle McKee (emm28@cornell.edu). If you are interested in applying, but have concerns about making the deadline, please let us know as soon as possible.
