The University of Baltimore School of Law will announce when a fellowship position becomes available in the Mediation Clinic for Families.
MCF provides services relating to mediation and collaborative lawyering. MCF students
serve as mediators with pro se parties in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City and
other fora. MCF students also provide limited representation to low-income parties
in mediation in conjunction with a pro bono lawyer and pro bono mediator. The Fellow's
duties include guiding and supporting law students as they engage mediation-related
services; co-teaching a weekly seminar, which includes both MCF and other students
interested in mediation; collaborating with other dispute resolution professionals
to enable students to assist in projects that facilitate the growth of dispute resolution
in local, state, national, and international settings. During winter and summer breaks
in the academic calendar, when students are not enrolled in the MCF, the Fellow also
covers client matters, including matters for other clinics that are within the Fellow’s
expertise; handles additional MCF and clinical program duties as assigned; and develops
their academic writing. The Fellow will also be given an opportunity to explore teaching
as a long-term profession and will join UB’s community of other law teachers and Fellows
within our Clinical Program and the School of Law.
This position is a full-time, year-round contractual appointment for three years.
Because MCF serves evening students, the Fellow should have flexibility to meet with
students in evenings.

Salary: The current salary is $70,000. The position includes full benefits, including retirement,
