Lincoln Memorial University Duncan School of Law (LMU Law) announces the hiring of Lucille C. McGee as director of experiential learning and assistant professor of law.
McGee brings a wealth of experience and expertise to LMU Law. She has been a leader in experiential education for many years. Her work includes the establishment of a medical-legal partnership clinic wherein law students provide pro bono civil legal services under the supervision of licensed attorneys to assist low-income hospital patients. McGee is a graduate of Harvard University’s Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning, where she earned a Higher Education Teaching Certificate in 2020. She received her J.D. from the Appalachian School of Law and her B.A. in English from the University of Georgia.
In her new role, McGee will oversee LMU Law’s experiential learning programs, including clinics, externships, and simulation courses. She will teach practice-oriented courses such as Externship and Pleadings & Practice.
McGee has been a licensed attorney in Tennessee since 2013. She is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Knoxville Bar Association (KBA), the American Bar Association (ABA), the National Association of Law Placement (NALP), the American Association of Law Schools (AALS), Southeastern Association of Law Schools (SEALS), and the Legal Writing Institute (LWI). She has served on various committees for SEALS and hosted a virtual LWI conference in 2021.
“We are thrilled to welcome Prof. McGee to the LMU Law community,” said LMU Law Dean Matt Lyon. “Her experience in experiential learning will be invaluable to our students as they build the skills necessary to succeed in practice.”
The Lincoln Memorial University Duncan School of Law is located in Knoxville’s Historic Old City Hall Building.
