Experienced candidates might also have the opportunity to direct the Law and Indigenous Peoples Program.

UNM School of Law has one of the highest percentages of Native American students and faculty in the country, and is also nationally recognized for innovative skills-based and doctrinal classes, along with a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio.
