The Fellows duties include guiding and supporting law students as they engage in mediationrelated services; coteaching 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 Fellows 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 longterm profession and will join UBalts community of other law teachers and Fellows within our Clinical Program and the School of Law.

This position is a fulltime yearround contractual appointment for three years. Because MCF serves evening students the Fellow should have flexibility to meet with students in evenings.
