Monterey College of Law
Monterey, CA
President and CEO
Monterey College of Law (“MCL”), a not-for-profit, California Accredited Law School (“CALS”) founded in 1972, seeks a new President and CEO (the “President”), following the announced July 2025 retirement of its current president after 20 years of exemplary service.
MCL provides a robust alternative model to traditional legal education, offering a high-quality legal education in a part-time evening program at a reasonable cost for working adults who want to serve their local communities. MCL continues to expand access to legal services and justice by providing affordable, high-quality, community-based legal education at four California campuses located in Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Bakersfield, and Santa Rosa. MCL also offers one of the first California-accredited online hybrid JD programs.
Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the President serves as chief executive officer of MCL and a non-voting member of the Board, managing and overseeing all operational, academic, and financial matters. Direct reports include the Chief Academic Officer, the Chief Financial and Operating Officer, and the Chief Development Officer. The new President will lead strategic planning and advance the interests of MCL externally while consolidating and improving the infrastructure that supports the MCL system.
Qualifications:
A JD degree is strongly preferred, but not required. Candidates must embrace MCL’s commitment to teaching excellence, a practice-oriented curriculum, and an access, opportunity, and community service mission. A transferable leadership record and relevant administrative experience are essential. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to manage strategically, cultivate professional relationships, strengthen financial sustainability, facilitate program innovation, and build MCL’s capacity to serve a diverse student population. Fundraising aptitude and familiarity with WSCUC or other accreditation protocols would be advantageous. Compensation will be commensurate with MCL’s operations and budget, with a targeted salary of $200,000.
Search committee review of candidate materials will begin immediately and continue until the appointment. Priority will be granted to applications received prior to Friday, January 31, 2025. A complete application will include a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae or resumé, and contact information for five professional references. MCL encourages applications from candidates whose leadership and personal experience will enrich the diversity of faculty and staff.
Expressions of interest, applications, nominations, and inquiries should be directed to MCL’s search consultant, Mr. Chuck O’Boyle of C. V. O’Boyle, Jr., LLC, at
