More information here. Here's a quote from the announcement (some may disagree with the first nine words but the rest is exciting):
Best place to live and teach in the U.S.: The Alexander Blewett III School of Law at the University of Montana, the only law school in the state, anticipates hiring a full-time, tenure-track professor beginning in the 2017-2018 academic year to serve in the newly created Blewett Chair in Consumer Law and Protection. Supported by a substantial endowed program fund, the Chair has an exciting opportunity to build a nationally-renowned and innovative consumer law and protection program from the ground up. In addition to teaching consumer law and related courses, the Chair will organize academic programs and develop student opportunities in consumer law and protection through clinical placements, externships, and/or internships. We are committed to integrating theory with practice, making substantial practice experience in the areas of consumer law and protection particularly valuable.* * *
Primary Duties: Primary duties involve leading the law school's new Consumer Law and Protection program (including interacting with state, tribal, and federal constituencies), organizing academic programs and conferences, developing student opportunities for clinical placements in consumer law and protection, teaching consumer law and protection related courses, producing scholarship, and providing professional service * * *
