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, committed to high-quality legal education at a reasonable cost for working adults. MCL continues to expand access to legal services and justice by offering affordable, community-based legal education at four campuses across California and a hybrid online JD program.

The President serves as chief executive officer of MCL and a non-voting member of the Board, managing 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, advance community relationships, and raise an endowment for the law school.

Qualifications: A JD degree is strongly preferred, but not required. Candidates must embrace MCL’s commitment to teaching excellence and community service. A transferable leadership record and relevant administrative experience are essential. Candidates should demonstrate strategic management abilities, fundraising aptitude, and an informed interest in the future of legal education. Familiarity with WSCUC or other accreditation protocols would be advantageous. Compensation will be commensurate with MCL’s modest 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 chuck@cvoboyle.com.
