Bowen is a student-focused and welcoming school of law located downtown in Arkansas’ capitol city, providing ready access to the state courts, legislative and administrative agencies, and in one of the most affordable and pleasant small cities in the country. Bowen’s three core values are to advance access to justice, public service, and professionalism. To that end, the School of Law’s rigorous curriculum balances theory, skill development and extensive experiential learning opportunities. Students have numerous options to assist faculty – including visitors – with academic research and public service, including in one of Bowen’s seven legal clinics, or with its new Bowen Center for Racial Justice and Criminal Justice Reform.
The positions begin in August, 2024. The search to fill them will continue until satisfactory candidates are hired. Candidates are encouraged to apply early. Before May 1, 2024, interested individuals should send a statement of interest and current C.V. to Professor Aaron Schwabach, Chair, Faculty Hiring Committee, by email: aschwabach@ualr.edu.
