to Washington Attorneys with Disabilities Association
The Public Defender Association (PDA) --soon to be renamed Purpose.Dignity.Action., as we no longer provide public defense services-- is looking for a Staff Attorney to provide legal services to individuals who have been diverted away from criminal system involvement to LEAD (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion/Let Everyone Advance with Dignity) services, and to advocate for criminal legal system reform. PDA seeks an attorney motivated to help those most frequently harmed by existing criminal legal and social service systems, including those with disabilities, people of color, those living unsheltered, and survivors of past incarceration.
This position is open to both experienced attorneys as well as those that will be sitting for the bar exam this July.
The job description can be found here. Those that are interested should submit the following to Zahra Al-Najaf (she/her pronouns) at Zahra.A...@defender.org:
- Letter of interest.
- Resumé.
- One legal writing sample, unedited by others.
- Names and contact information for three references.
Please feel free to share broadly! Thank you!
