Adjunct Lecturer in Law - Global Data Privacy Law & Practice

LAW 840 - Global Data Privacy Law & Practice

USC Gould School of Law is seeking a lecturer to co-teach Global Data Privacy Law & Practice. This course explores the rapid evolution of privacy and data protection regimes around the world, with a comparative focus on the United States, the European Union, China, and other key jurisdictions.

Candidates for this position must have a JD and at least five years of practice, including practice in the subject area. In addition, this course will be taught on campus, so instructors must be local. The course may be postponed until a later semester if fewer than six students are enrolled.

USC reserves the “Adjunct” appointment for faculty teaching less than full-time at USC, who are employed full-time in a primary profession or career elsewhere. Adjunct faculty typically teach only one course per year but, in exceptional cases, may teach one course per semester, if approved by the dean.

To ensure compliance with federal, state or local regulatory requirements as well as university policy and procedures, Adjunct Lecturers are required to complete specific training requirements as a condition of employment. Adjuncts Lecturers must complete mandated training by a required deadline. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination, in accordance with the Faculty Handbook. Trainings that are required for all faculty and staff include USC’s Harassment Prevention Training at the time of hire and every two years thereafter, USC’s Integrity and Accountability Code Training at the time of hire, Information Security training annually, and Workplace Violence Prevention Plan training annually. A variety of other trainings may be required based on specific job responsibilities.
