Candidates for this position must have a JD and/or CPA and at least five years of practice, including practice in the subject area. In addition, this course will be taught on campus, so instructors must be local.

USC reserves the “Adjunct” appointment for faculty teaching less than full-time at USC, who are employed full-time in a primary profession or career elsewhere.
