Here is a terrific opportunity for a lawyer interested in advancing the study of the legal profession.

Center for the Study of the Legal Profession
Georgetown University Law Center
The Center
for the Study of the Legal Profession at Georgetown University Law Center is seeking an Executive Director who will work closely with faculty Co-Directors
of the Center on a variety of projects furthering the mission of the Center.
That mission is to promote scholarship on the profession that is informed by
awareness of the dynamics of modern law practice; to furnish practitioners with
broad perspectives on developments in the profession, as well as research from
a variety of fields that is relevant to law practice; and to provide students
with a sophisticated understanding of the opportunities and challenges of a
career in practice. The Center expects its projects increasingly to explore the
impact of globalization on the legal profession.
In
collaboration with the Center’s Co-Directors, the Executive Director will
design, select, and coordinate research projects on the profession for which
the Center provides financial support; plan symposia on research, trends, and
developments relating to the profession; devise programs to provide
practitioners with the results of research on the profession; arrange for
programs, workshops, and speakers on the profession for both faculty and
students; work with and advise Law Center faculty and relevant administrators
on how to incorporate scholarship and different perspectives on the profession
into the curriculum; ensure that the Center’s financial contributions to
projects match its available resources; and, as appropriate, explore sources of
funding for the Center. Projects may be at the Center’s own initiative or in
response to an interest in collaboration that has been expressed by persons or
organizations outside the Center.
The
position requires a law degree, or advanced degree and experience with research
on the legal profession, and at least four years of experience in a law school,
legal practice, or organization engaged in research on the legal profession.
The Executive Director will need to be able to manage several projects
simultaneously, and to interact regularly with practitioners, scholars, and
other members of the academic community. Competitive compensation package.
Application process will be expedited (ideal start time - mid to late August).
