Job Posting

 

Ave Maria School of Law seeks applicants for an entry-level tenure-track position to begin in the 2025-2026 academic year.  In particular, we seek faculty teaching in the 1L areas of Civil Procedure, Contracts, and Property, which at Ave Maria are year-long courses and involve significant student contact. Applicants must have a Juris Doctorate or equivalent degree and a strong academic record.  Responsibilities will include teaching, scholarship, and service to the Law School and community.

Ave Maria offers students a distinctive legal education marked by the integration of the Catholic faith and the law. Students are trained to reflect critically on the law and to understand that all areas of legal practice serve the common good. The Law School emphasizes the importance of faith and community among its faculty, staff, and students, and desires applicants attracted by, and supportive of its mission. The Law School community is small but close-knit and seeks faculty members who will participate in, and contribute to, its continued growth. More here .

Ave Maria School of Law recognizes the inherent value and dignity of all members of the human family. It values equal opportunity and seeks racial, cultural, and ethnic diversity. The Law School maintains its Catholic character but is open to persons of all religious faiths who respect the goals of Ave Maria School of Law and whose conduct does not undermine the Law School’s religious goals or compromise its Catholic identity.

Ave Maria has an increasingly diverse student body and desires to provide students with faculty role models and mentors of shared background and experience. As such, we particularly encourage applications from women and members of underrepresented groups within the profession.

Ave Maria is located in Naples, Florida, along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Naples has been recognized for its healthy lifestyle and excellent quality of life and is known for its cultural activities and institutions, as well as for its many and varied natural attractions.
