Located in one of the nation’s most iconic and dynamic cities, the University of Denver Sturm College of Law has a long and distinguished tradition in experiential education. The law school features a DU Bar Success program for graduates of Denver Law to aid in bar preparation studies with numerous practice problems utilizing bar exam materials. The program features workshops, mock bar exams, individualized feedback, and coaching. We provide a team of writing advisers to provide comments for improvement (instead of feedback, we call it feedforward) on every bar essay and performance test submitted from our program. We also provide one-on-one coaching to help graduates keep on track and make the most of the learning experience. The Sturm College of Law seeks to hire part-time (hourly, non-benefited) Writing Advisers to advance the DU Bar Success Program through coaching and feedback, working with bar takers, law students, and recent graduates as they prepare for bar exams. This is an hourly, non-benefited position not to exceed 1,000 hours in a calendar year.
