Nova Southeastern University, Shepard Broad College of Law is seeking applications from qualified individuals to teach the following experiential courses :

• Civil Pre-Trial Practice,
• Interview and Counseling,
• Appellate Practice Workshop
• Law Office Management

Experiential workshops are hands-on small workshops that involve substantial experience not involving an actual client that is reasonably similar to the experience of a lawyer advising or representing a client or engaging in other lawyering tasks.

As such, workshops do not involve substantial lecturing or include a final exam. Instead, they include practice-based projects continuously throughout the course, in which the faculty member gives meaningful timely feedback to students to ensure their learning.
