UGA

The University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business has posted information about a legal studies lecturer position they are seeking to fill this fall.

I know UGA’s legal studies faculty, and they have a bright, collegial group. Also, UGA’s current president, Jere Morehead, previously taught legal studies courses in UGA’s Terry College of Business.

More information about the position, provided by UGA, is available after the break.

Like last year, I am going to compile postings of legal studies professor positions in business schools. Perhaps, it is more accurate to say “not in law schools,” as some of these positions may be in political science departments and the like.

For this list, I am only including full-time positions (tenure-track, clinical, visiting, or full-time instructor positions). Most of the positions start in the fall of 2016, but some may start in January of 2016. Feel free to send me any relevant positions to post. I will update the list from time to time.
