The Assistant Dean for Academic Planning (ADAP) supports the Law School's pedagogical mission by helping to create and coordinate the curriculum for all Law students, including the J.D., LL.M., and J.S.D. programs, to provide them with the legal knowledge and skills necessary to become effective legal practitioners, scholars, and public policy advocates. 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.

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;

Position description
The Death Penalty Clinic was founded in 2001 on the principle that the right to a fair trial and equal protection under the law are core societal values. Through individual representation and impact litigation, the clinic puts this principle into practice. Our mission is to help students develop outstanding legal skills and to serve clients facing capital punishment. Our students gain a strong social justice orientation and the skills necessary to provide vigorous, professional, and high-level representation to their clients.
For more than two decades, clinic faculty and students have advocated on behalf of clients facing capital punishment in state and federal proceedings in states such as Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Texas. In some cases the clinic directly represents clients throughout post-conviction and clemency proceedings. In others, the clinic serves as co-counsel to investigate or litigate aspects of the capital case in which the clinic has particular expertise. The clinic has also filed amicus curiae briefs in the United States Supreme Court and California Supreme Court in cases involving challenges to discriminatory jury selection, race discrimination in the administration of the death penalty, and methods of execution.
The companion seminar engages students in the relevant substantive capital punishment law; habeas corpus practice and procedure; and the fundamentals of death penalty litigation, including fact investigation, interviewing skills, and the development of mitigation evidence.
