Is there a way to find law teaching jobs without attending the AALS Conference in Washington, D.C.?
Generally no. School that are hiring new faculty expect to interview candidates at the conference. If you do not attend, law schools may assume you are not committed to a career in law teaching. However, the AALS publishes a Placement Bulletin six times each academic year that lists teaching, administrative, and legal writing positions, as well as fellowships. If you register to attend the AALS Faculty Recruitment Conference, you will automatically receive the Placement Bulletin. If you are not attending the conference, you can subscribe to the Placement Bulletin. The Placement Bulletin is also available in the NYU Law Office of Career Services. Finally, you can contact law schools directly to see if they have any positions available.
