USC Gould School of Law is seeking a lecturer to teach International Arbitration (Law 817). 

Candidates for this position must have a JD and at least five years of practice, including practice in the subject area.  In addition, this course will be taught on campus, so instructors must be local.

International Arbitration (LAW-817)

This three-unit course surveys the legal system governing the resolution of disputes arising out of international commercial and investment relationships. Students are introduced to the basics of international arbitration as well as the role domestic laws and courts play in this context. Consideration is given to emerging trends in this area, such as the rise of special or international courts established specifically for the purpose of resolving cross-border business disputes. 

USC reserves the “Adjunct” appointment for faculty teaching less than full-time at USC, who are employed full-time in a primary profession or career elsewhere. Adjunct faculty typically teach only one course per year but, in exceptional cases, may teach one course per semester, if approved by the dean.

The base salary range for this position is $2,232 - $9,178 per semester. When extending an offer of employment, the University of Southern California considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the number of units per course, the candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, federal, state and local laws, contractual stipulations, grant funding, as well as external market and organizational considerations.
