Job Title:

Academic Support Law Faculty Fellow

Job Summary:

The University Of San Francisco School Of Law seeks dynamic, energetic, and experienced applicants for its Academic Support Program (ASP). ASP is one component of the comprehensive academic support services provided to all law students.

ASP provides assistance to applicants who have been culturally, educationally, economically, or historically disadvantaged, who have not been in an academic setting for a number of years, or who may be the first in their families to go to law school. Students selected for ASP are required to attend a two-week summer orientation program designed to foster a sense of community and to introduce strategies for academic excellence. Throughout the entire first year, ASP conducts exam rehearsals and ASP staff meets individually with the students to evaluate academic progress, work on writing skills, and discuss personal issues as necessary.
