Part-Time Faculty: Law 909 M601 JDi: Bankruptcy Clinic

The College of Law is seeking a part-time instructor to teach a 2-credit course – Bankruptcy Clinic – in the JDi program. The course meets during the Spring 2027 semester. The pro bono bankruptcy clinic consists of a clinic open to second- and third-year students, and a pro bono volunteer program open to first-year students. The upper division clinic students will represent indigent clients filing bankruptcy cases and will be in charge of the team supervising the first-year student volunteers. The clinic students will be responsible for obtaining from the clients the information required by the Bankruptcy Code for filing a bankruptcy case, organizing that information, drafting the petition and schedules, and representing the client at the official meeting of creditors. Students will also address legal issues that arise in the case. The class component will involve formal training in basic consumer bankruptcy law and practice, and an open discussion of issues that arise in the cases.
