Faculty Instructor Adjunct/School of Law at University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Job Description:

The University of Pittsburgh School of Law is seeking an adjunct professor to teach the following 2 credit course in the fall of 2021.

Course Title: The Role of the State Attorney General

Compensation$ 2000

The course will cover the day-to-day challenges faced by Attorneys General and their staffs in delivering the legal advice that will guide state government in a constitutional and ethical manner. The course will also cover the relationship of Attorneys General with Governors, state legislatures and agencies, the federal government, the private bar, and a myriad of advocacy organizations. Although Attorneys General are often in the news litigating both in favor and in opposition to Presidential policies, the focus of this class is not on suing or defending the President.

Although each State is unique, the course will demonstrate the remarkable congruence that exists among State Attorneys General when addressing similar challenges and issues. The course will focus special attention on Pennsylvania and federal consumer protection law, including consumer financial issues and the Consumer Financial Protection Act. The course also considers the unique ethics issues that Attorneys General and their staff must confront.

JD and at least five years' experience working as an attorney in a state attorney general office are required.
