Hiring Bilingual Movement Lawyer For Land & Housing Justice
Andrea cf
Summary of Role: This person will primarily partner with our attorneys on class actions, collective lawsuits, and other forms of impact litigation and thus be responsible for assisting in investigating and drafting complaints, handling case management, briefing and motions practice, conducting discovery (including depositions), and trial advocacy. They will occasionally do know-your-rights and organizing-focused trainings with community members, and will be expected to speak with media outlets to share about our work. They will be expected to collaborate with and respect community organizers and impacted community members; the people who ultimately drive and lead the work we do. Eventually, they will support the creation and execution of our Movement Lawyering Education and Internship Program, which will include a series of trainings that will lead toward movement lawyering certification.
