Lecturer hiring and review

• 
  
• The ADAP assists with the Lecturer Hiring and Review Committee, which hires all lecturers, and reviews continuing appointment and merit cases, recommending dispositions to the Dean.
  
• The ADAP meets bi-monthly with the HR Academic Analysts and the Associate Dean for Teaching to review issues with lecturer hiring and advancement, and is the primary point of contact with lecturers regarding these issues.
  The ADAP meets with newly-hired lecturers to assist with course design and syllabus preparation.
  
• The ADAP provides support to lecturers in their teaching and is available for individual consultation to discuss best practices for course development and pedagogy.

• The ADAP supervises all lecturers teaching J.D., LL.M., and J.S.D. courses.
  
• The ADAP oversees our J.D. Writing program and supervises the 12 full-time lecturers who teach the ABA-required Legal Research and Writing (LRAW) program in the Fall and Spring.
  
• The ADAP directly supervises the Director of LL.M. Legal Writing (AC1), who oversees approximately 19 part-time lecturers who teach Legal Research and Writing for LL.M.s during the Fall semester.
  
• The ADAP directly supervises the Director of Field Placements (a lecturer with continuing status), the Director of Pro Bono Programs (AC1), the Director of Competitions (AO3), and the Director of UCDC (AC1), as well as the staff that report to them.
  

Budget Management

  • Using and interpreting budgetary information as needed to make programmatic and staffing decisions;
