Adjunct opportunities vary based on the type of course. Opportunities include: (i) traditional doctrinal courses taught in a lecture format; (ii) clinical education, which is a type of experiential learning course; (iii) simulation courses, which are a type of experiential learning course; and (iv) involvement with the Law Center’s Blakely Advocacy Institute (http://www.law.uh.edu/blakely), where the opportunities include a variety of skills‑based courses.
