The ADAP must have substantive expertise in legal education and the administrative and management skills to play a leading role in strategic planning for curriculum development, including course offerings, hiring and allocation of instructors, etc., as well as for the development of policies to improve efficiencies, ensure equity, and promote our educational mission. In addition, the ADAP will help to select and present professional and substantive programming on legal pedagogy.

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 administers the course evaluation process and meets with lecturers and faculty to improve their teaching.
  

Programmatic supervision

• 
  
• 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

• 
  
• The ADAP oversees seven separate budgets for different programs at the Law School, including the Experiential Education budget, the J.D. Legal Writing Instructor budget, the Competitions budget, and the Field Placement Program budget. Specifically, the ADAP has the following, budget-related responsibilities:
  
  
  • 
    
  • Management of the unit's budget, including compensation and non-compensation operating expenses;
    
  • Participation in the annual budget review process and setting of strategic goals for the unit in consultation with the Dean, Associate Dean, and others;
    
  • Reviewing periodic budget updates and making mid-year, budget-related adjustments as needed;
    
  • Working with direct reports to ensure they are on track to remain within approved budgets and provide guidance;
    
  • Using and interpreting budgetary information as needed to make programmatic and staffing decisions;
    
  • Evaluation of complex financial and budgetary information in order to evaluate program performance, needs, or proposed changes, and to respond to Law School and campus requests for information related to expenses and revenue for programs.
