Overview
Touro University Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center is expanding its footprint and seeking an experienced, visionary leader to serve as Vice Dean, with faculty status (Associate or Professor of Law), for its nationally recognized FlexTime JD Program at its new Great Falls, Montana campus. The Vice Dean will serve as the chief deputy to the Dean, overseeing and managing the day-to-day academic and administrative operations of the Touro Law Montana campus. Touro's innovative FlexTime JD Program is a blend of in-person instruction (required only on Sundays) with online asynchronous coursework completed during the week. The program is specifically designed to meet students where they are, breaking down geographic and scheduling barriers. It provides students who may not be able to step away from existing careers and family obligations an opportunity to earn a law degree. By leading this campus, the Vice Dean will directly increase access to a high-quality law degree for non-traditional students and, in turn, help close the access-to-justice gap across Montana.
