Adjunct Professor - Energy Law (Fall 2024)

 

The University of Maine School of Law is seeking an adjunct professor to teach a course that examines the theoretical and practical issues in energy law and markets, with particular emphasis on electricity. This course will explore the legal, political and market structures that govern the production, transmission and distribution of electricity, and how various activities (including efficiency programs, demand response and renewable energy production) are "monetized" within those structures. The course will also address some of the interrelationships between and among the various principles and influences shaping the electricity market and administrative law and practice.

 

This class is a 2 or 3 credit course that will meet each week from September 3, 2024 - December 6, 2024.

 

Part time faculty members are paid on a credit hour basis based on prior college teaching experience.  In addition, Maine Law employees have access to the library, Cigna Employee Assistance Plan, and fitness center(s) with their Maine Law ID.
