Fall 2019 Legal Fellowship Sponsorship Opportunity
Notice to Third-Year Law Students and Recent Graduates
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation
Women’s Rights Project, NY
For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s protecting the rights of immigrants, ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for women and the LGBT community, advancing racial justice, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties and civil rights cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than one million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, record of arrest or conviction.
The ACLU invites rising third-year law students and recent law graduates to apply for a sponsorship opportunity to work with us as a Legal Fellow. The Women’s Rights Project of the National office in New York seeks applicants to consider for a sponsored fellowship such as Skadden, Equal Justice Works, or other public interest fellowships to begin in the fall of 2019.
OVERVIEW
The Women’s Rights Project is part of the ACLU’s Center for Liberty, which is dedicated to the principle that we are all entitled to determine the course of our lives based on who we are and what we believe, free from unreasonable government constraint and baseless stereotypes. The Center for Liberty encompasses the ACLU’s work on women’s rights, reproductive freedom, LGBT rights and the rights of people living with HIV, freedom of religion and belief, and the rights of people with disabilities.
Founded in 1972 by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Women's Rights Project (WRP) has been a leader in the legal battles to ensure women’s full equality in American society. WRP is dedicated to the advancement of the rights and interests of women and works to break down gender stereotypes that limit opportunities for individuals. Through litigation, advocacy, grassroots mobilization, and public education, WRP pushes for change and systemic reform in those institutions that perpetuate discrimination based on gender. WRP has been an active participant in virtually all of the major gender discrimination litigation in the Supreme Court, in advocacy efforts for women’s rights at the state and federal level, and in significant communications efforts on behalf of women and girls.
We are particularly interested in a project addressing either (1) the failure of school districts to prevent and remedy sexual harassment and violence in K-12 education or (2) the failure of employers to prevent and remedy sexual harassment and assault in low-wage occupational sectors, such as hospitality, janitorial, and retail. However, we will also consider proposals for projects addressing other gender justice issues.
Our staff will work with candidates to develop their proposals for submission, helping tailor the proposal to address an important civil liberties issue while satisfying the funding organization’s requirements. Proposed projects often combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education.

Fall 2019 Legal Fellowship Sponsorship Opportunity
Notice to Third-Year Law Students and Recent Graduates
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation
Women’s Rights Project, NY
For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s protecting the rights of immigrants, ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for women and the LGBT community, advancing racial justice, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties and civil rights cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than one million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, record of arrest or conviction.
The ACLU invites rising third-year law students and recent law graduates to apply for a sponsorship opportunity to work with us as a Legal Fellow. The Women’s Rights Project of the National office in New York seeks applicants to consider for a sponsored fellowship such as Skadden, Equal Justice Works, or other public interest fellowships to begin in the fall of 2019.
OVERVIEW
The Women’s Rights Project is part of the ACLU’s Center for Liberty, which is dedicated to the principle that we are all entitled to determine the course of our lives based on who we are and what we believe, free from unreasonable government constraint and baseless stereotypes. The Center for Liberty encompasses the ACLU’s work on women’s rights, reproductive freedom, LGBT rights and the rights of people living with HIV, freedom of religion and belief, and the rights of people with disabilities.
Founded in 1972 by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Women's Rights Project (WRP) has been a leader in the legal battles to ensure women’s full equality in American society. WRP is dedicated to the advancement of the rights and interests of women and works to break down gender stereotypes that limit opportunities for individuals. Through litigation, advocacy, grassroots mobilization, and public education, WRP pushes for change and systemic reform in those institutions that perpetuate discrimination based on gender. WRP has been an active participant in virtually all of the major gender discrimination litigation in the Supreme Court, in advocacy efforts for women’s rights at the state and federal level, and in significant communications efforts on behalf of women and girls.
We are particularly interested in a project addressing either (1) the failure of school districts to prevent and remedy sexual harassment and violence in K-12 education or (2) the failure of employers to prevent and remedy sexual harassment and assault in low-wage occupational sectors, such as hospitality, janitorial, and retail. However, we will also consider proposals for projects addressing other gender justice issues.
Our staff will work with candidates to develop their proposals for submission, helping tailor the proposal to address an important civil liberties issue while satisfying the funding organization’s requirements. Proposed projects often combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education.

The Project employs an integrated advocacy approach – a combination of legislative advocacy and litigation – and has active cases in over a dozen states.

In addition to our work on voter suppression, the Project works on redistricting issues and challenges electoral arrangements that dilute the political strength of minority communities.
The Voting Rights Project is part of the ACLU’s Center for Democracy, which works to strengthen democratic institutions and values, including the values of government transparency and accountability, and to reinforce the United States’ commitment to human rights and the rule of law.

OVERVIEW
The ACLU's Racial Justice Program challenges racial discrimination and other practices and policies that have a direct or disparate impact on communities of color with a particular emphasis on education and criminal justice and economic justice issues.
RJP seeks to ensure that all children have access to equal, high quality educational opportunities, regardless of race or ethnicity. Likewise, RJP is dedicated to exposing and eliminating discriminatory practices and policies which have a disproportionate impact on communities of color throughout the criminal justice system, particularly those that criminalize poverty by subjecting indigent people to jailing because of an inability to pay court fines and fees. RJP has worked to assure that persons of color have access to economic opportunities in the areas of government programs and access to fair credit home and home ownership.
Recognizing the potential of new forms of discrimination resulting from the rapid advance of digital technology, RJP has increasingly turned its attention to taking steps to monitoring and taking action to counter the discriminatory effects of digital platforms. RJP also seeks to expand its work on providing protection against discrimination for Native American individuals and tribes. And we want to explore cutting edge ideas for new litigation strategies to advance racial justice.
In furtherance of these goals, R.JP, often working with the ACLU's 53 affiliates nationwide, has filed lawsuits challenging disparate educational opportunities, pre- and post- 9/11 racial profiling, policies and practices which push children out of the education system into the juvenile justice and criminal justice systems, unfair lending practices and a range of police and criminal justice system practices which have a particularly adverse impact on communities of color. R.JP has also engaged in other innovative advocacy and public education efforts including the development of resource materials and web sites addressing a number of racial justice issues. RJP is part of the ACLU Trone Center for Justice and Equality, which also includes the ACLU's work on criminal justice reform, eliminating the death penalty and upholding the rights of those who are incarcerated in American prisons and jails.
Our staff will work with candidates to develop their proposals for submission, helping tailor the proposal to address an important civil liberties issue while satisfying the funding organization’s requirements. Proposed projects often combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education.

Fall 2019 Legal Fellowship Sponsorship Opportunity
Notice to Third-Year Law Students and Recent Graduates
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation
Reproductive Freedom Project, NY
For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s protecting the rights of immigrants, ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for women and the LGBT community, advancing racial justice, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties and civil rights cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than one million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, record of arrest or conviction.
The ACLU invites rising third-year law students and recent law graduates to apply for a sponsorship opportunity to work with us as a Legal Fellow. The Reproductive Freedom Project of the National office in New York seeks applicants to consider for a sponsored fellowship such as an Equal Justice Works or other public interest fellowships to begin in the fall of 2019.
OVERVIEW
The Project’s mission is to secure a world that respects and supports every person’s right to form intimate relationships and to decide whether and when to have a child, and where all people have the resources and tools to access the health care they need to effectuate these decisions. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, the ACLU strives to ensure that the freedoms and opportunities enjoyed by some become the freedoms and opportunities enjoyed by all. The ACLU is particularly committed to ensuring that individuals’ access to reproductive health care is not compromised because of their race, immigration or economic status, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability or where they live. Further, we recognize that people lead intersectional lives and believe that this work must be informed by broader racial and social justice considerations.
For four decades, the ACLU has been a leader in the efforts to reduce the shame and stigma around abortion and ensure that every person has access to safe, affordable abortion care in their communities. The ACLU has participated in nearly every reproductive rights case before the Supreme Court and in significant cases in federal and state courts too numerous to count. Below are just a few examples of current cases:
A challenge to the Trump Administration’s policy that bars immigrant minors like our client, Jane Doe, from obtaining abortions;
A federal constitutional challenge to Kentucky’s efforts to shut down the last abortion clinic in the state;
State constitutional cases seeking to restore Medicaid coverage for abortion in 2 states;
Federal constitutional challenges to abortions bans in numerous states;
Numerous cases seeking to expand the availability and accessibility of abortion care; and
Challenges to attempts by the Trump Administration to roll back access to contraception and to dismantle the federal family planning program that provides access to contraception to millions of low-income people each year.
The Reproductive Freedom Project is unique among reproductive rights organizations in that it works with the ACLU’s nationwide network of state affiliates as well as attorneys and advocates in the organization who specialize in areas such as immigrants’ rights, racial justice, LGBT rights, disability rights, and freedom of speech and religion.
Our staff will work with candidates to develop their proposals for submission, helping tailor the proposal to address an important civil liberties issue while satisfying the funding organization’s requirements. Proposed projects often combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education.

Demonstrate a commitment to diversity within the office using a personal approach that values all individuals and respects differences in regards to race, ethnicity, age, sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ability, and socio-economic circumstance.
Commitment to work collaboratively and respectfully toward resolving obstacles and/or conflicts.

The ACLU invites rising third-year law students and recent law graduates to apply for a sponsorship opportunity to work with us as a Legal Fellow. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & HIV Project of the National office in New York seeks applicants to consider for a sponsored fellowship such as Skadden, Equal Justice Works, or other public interest fellowships to begin in the fall of 2019.
OVERVIEW
The LGBT & HIV Project is part of the ACLU’s Center for Liberty, which is dedicated to the principle that we are all entitled to determine the course of our lives based on who we are and what we believe, free from unreasonable government constraint and baseless stereotypes. The Center for Liberty encompasses the ACLU’s work on LGBT rights, the rights of people living with HIV, women’s rights, the rights of people living with disabilities, reproductive freedom, and freedom of religion and belief.
The ACLU brought its first LGBT rights case in 1936 and has been a leading advocate on LGBT rights ever since. Founded in 1986, the LGBT & HIV Projectseeks to create a just society for all LGBT people and people living with HIV regardless of race or income. Through litigation, lobbying, public education, and organizing, we work to build a country where our communities can live openly without discrimination and enjoy equal rights, personal autonomy, and freedom of expression and association.
We litigate in state and federal courts throughout the country, lobby in state legislatures and Congress, advocate for fair administrative policies, organize ballot campaigns, and educate the public. Our entire advocacy is designed to have a significant effect on the lives of LGBT people and people living with HIV. Our legal strategies are built around the idea that fighting for civil rights means not just persuading judges but ultimately changing the way people think about our issues. We frame our litigation and other advocacy around targeted media, online advocacy, and outreach campaigns designed to change public attitudes and to give people on the frontlines the tools they need to fight for their civil rights.
Today, the ACLU and its 50+ state affiliates do more litigation, policy advocacy, legislative lobbying, ballot campaigns, and public education work on LGBT issues than any other civil rights organization. Doing this work as part of the broad civil liberties agenda of the ACLU reflects the reality that the LGBT and HIV-affected communities are part of other social change movements and that we must work together if we are to achieve a just society for all. The ACLU strives to ensure that the racial and economic diversity of the LGBT and HIV-affected communities is reflected in its work and continues to explore ways to make its efforts more sensitive to the needs of people of color and people who are economically disadvantaged.
The LGBT & HIV Project is seeking to sponsor a candidate for fellowship funding through Skadden, Equal Justice Works and other programs to develop a proposal increase access to health care, sex-segregated spaces and affirming identification documents for transgender people.
Our staff will work with candidates to develop their proposals for submission, helping tailor the proposal to address an important civil liberties issue while satisfying the funding organization’s requirements. Proposed projects often combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education.

Using targeted impact litigation, advocacy and public outreach, the Project carries on the ACLU’s commitment to protecting the rights and liberties of immigrants. In federal district and appellate courts, including the Supreme Court, the Project conducts the nation’s largest impact litigation program dedicated to defending and expanding the rights of immigrants, enforcing the guarantees of the Constitution, and achieving equal justice under the law.
The Project has most recently been engaged in litigation and advocacy to challenge: the separation of parents and children at the border; the Muslim travel ban; the detention of asylum seekers and use of mandatory and prolonged immigration detention; the lack of due process in the deportation system, including the lack of appointed counsel and federal court review of deportation orders; constitutional violations that arise from state and local immigration laws and enforcement policies, including state anti-immigrant laws and immigration-related civil rights violations by local police and sheriffs; the arbitrary termination of grants Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) without notice or process; and illegal enforcement tactics used by federal immigration and border patrol agents, including abusive immigration detainer practices and unjustified cross-border shootings by U.S. Border Patrol.

The Criminal Law Reform Project of the National office in New York seeks applicants to consider for a sponsored fellowship such as Skadden, Equal Justice Works, Soros Justice, or other public interest fellowships to begin in the fall of 2019.
OVERVIEW
The Criminal Law Reform Project seeks an end to excessively harsh crime policies that result in mass incarceration and criminalization and stand in the way of a just, equal, and humane society. To reduce the number of people entering the criminal punishment system, CLRP focuses on preventing over-incarceration and over-criminalization at the “front end” of that system. We fulfill our mission through strategic litigation and advocacy that promotes reform. Key priorities are creating robust statewide indigent defense systems to ensure that people charged with a crime have access to effective assistance of counsel; ending unnecessary and unjust pretrial detention through bail reform and other abusive pretrial practices; reforming unconstitutional and racially biased police practices; challenging prosecutorial abuses of power that result in or enable regressive and unconstitutional practices; reforming our nation’s punitive drug policies, which have failed to achieve public safety and health while eroding constitutional rights and criminalizing unprecedented numbers of people, particularly people of color; and reclaiming equal protection of the laws and guaranteeing substantive and procedural due process protections at each stage of the arrest-to-sentencing process of criminal cases.
The Project is part of the ACLU's Trone Center for Justice and Equality, which also includes the National Prison Project, the Capital Punishment Project, and the Racial Justice Program. The Center seeks to transform the U.S. criminal justice system into one that views incarceration as an option of last - not first - resort; that is effective, fair, and free of racial bias; that rejects death as a legitimate form of punishment; and that is evidence-based rather than fear-based.

Proposed projects often combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education.

Legal Administrative Assistant [LGBT-12]

For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, advancing racial justice, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, preserving the right to vote or ensuring that people can access abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties and civil rights cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach.

OVERVIEW
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & HIV Project of the ACLU’s National office in New York City seek applicants for a full-time Legal Administrative Assistant.
The LGBT & HIV Project is part of the ACLU’s Center for Liberty, which is dedicated to the principle that we are all entitled to determine the course of our lives based on who we are and what we believe, free from unreasonable government constraint and baseless stereotypes. The Center for Liberty encompasses the ACLU’s work on LGBT rights, the rights of people living with HIV, women’s rights, the rights of people living with disabilities, reproductive freedom, and freedom of religion and belief.
The ACLU brought its first gay rights case in 1936 and has been a leading advocate on LGBT rights ever since. Through the LGBT & HIV Project, founded in 1986, the ACLU seeks to create a just society for all LGBT people and people living with HIV regardless of race or income. Through litigation, lobbying, public education, and organizing, we work to build a country where our communities can live openly without discrimination and enjoy equal rights, personal autonomy, and freedom of expression and association.
We litigate in state and federal courts throughout the country, lobby in state legislatures and Congress, advocate for fair administrative policies, organize ballot campaigns, and educate the public. Our entire advocacy is designed to have a significant effect on the lives of LGBT people and people living with HIV. Our legal strategies are built around the idea that fighting for civil rights means not just persuading judges but ultimately changing the way people think about our issues. We frame our litigation and other advocacy around targeted media, online advocacy, and outreach campaigns designed to change public attitudes and to give people on the frontlines the tools they need to fight for their civil rights.
Today, the ACLU and its 50+ state affiliates do more litigation, policy advocacy, legislative lobbying, ballot campaigns, and public education work on LGBT issues than any other civil rights organization. Doing this work as part of the broad civil liberties agenda of the ACLU reflects the reality that the LGBT and HIV-affected communities are part of other social change movements and that we must work together if we are to achieve a just society for all. The ACLU strives to ensure that the racial and economic diversity of the LGBT and HIV-affected communities is reflected in its work and continues to explore ways to make its efforts more sensitive to the needs of people of color and people who are economically disadvantaged.

Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than a million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, record of arrest or conviction.

OVERVIEW
The Racial Justice Program (RJP) attorneys and staff work on a broad range of racial justice issues, particularly in the areas of criminal justice, education and economic justice.

We have also advocated against the racially disproportionate imposition of incarceration and school discipline among people of color as well as economic policies which have a disproportionate impact on communities of color, such as predatory lending, seizure of property through unfair asset forfeiture polices and jailing indigent people because of their inability to pay court fines.

The Women’s Rights Project of the ACLU seeks applicants for a full-time Staff Attorney position in its National Office in New York.
OVERVIEW
The last year has seen dramatic engagement with women’s rights and gender justice issues as reflected in the Women’s Marches and the unprecedented public conversation about sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the workplace fueled by the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements. The Women’s Rights Project seeks an attorney who is creative, who is deeply engaged in intersectional conversations about women’s rights and the unique challenges facing women of color, who can capitalize on this moment, and who can build a docket of significant cases to address women’s rights and gender justice.
The Women’s Rights Project is part of the ACLU’s Center for Liberty, which is dedicated to the principle that we are all entitled to determine the course of our lives based on who we are and what we believe, free from unreasonable government constraint and baseless stereotypes. The Center for Liberty encompasses the ACLU’s work on women’s rights, reproductive freedom, LGBT rights and the rights of people living with HIV, freedom of religion and belief, and the rights of people with disabilities.
Founded in 1972 by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Women's Rights Project (WRP) has been a leader in the legal battles to ensure women’s full equality in American society. WRP is dedicated to the advancement of the rights and interests of women and works to break down gender stereotypes that limit opportunities for individuals. Through litigation, advocacy, grassroots mobilization, and public education, WRP pushes for change and systemic reform in those institutions that perpetuate discrimination based on gender. WRP has been an active participant in virtually all of the major gender discrimination litigation in the Supreme Court, in advocacy efforts for women’s rights at the state and federal level, and in significant communications efforts on behalf of women and girls.
WRP focuses on women’s rights in the following priority areas: employment, education, and gender-based violence.
The Staff Attorney will report to the Director of the Women’s Rights Project and will possess the ability to contribute to all aspects of the Project’s litigation and non-litigation work.

Office: National Offices, New York, NY

APRIL 25, 2018
CAREER OPPORTUNITY
STAFF ATTORNEY [WRP-19]
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation
Women’s Rights Project, New York
For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s protecting the rights of immigrants, ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for women and the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than a million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, record of arrest or conviction.
The Women’s Rights Project of the ACLU seeks applicants for a full-time Staff Attorney position in its National Office in New York.
OVERVIEW
The last year has seen dramatic engagement with women’s rights and gender justice issues as reflected in the Women’s Marches and the unprecedented public conversation about sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the workplace fueled by the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements. The Women’s Rights Project seeks an attorney who is creative, who is deeply engaged in intersectional conversations about women’s rights and the unique challenges facing women of color, who can capitalize on this moment, and who can build a docket of significant cases to address women’s rights and gender justice.
The Women’s Rights Project is part of the ACLU’s Center for Liberty, which is dedicated to the principle that we are all entitled to determine the course of our lives based on who we are and what we believe, free from unreasonable government constraint and baseless stereotypes. The Center for Liberty encompasses the ACLU’s work on women’s rights, reproductive freedom, LGBT rights and the rights of people living with HIV, freedom of religion and belief, and the rights of people with disabilities.
Founded in 1972 by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Women's Rights Project (WRP) has been a leader in the legal battles to ensure women’s full equality in American society. WRP is dedicated to the advancement of the rights and interests of women and works to break down gender stereotypes that limit opportunities for individuals. Through litigation, advocacy, grassroots mobilization, and public education, WRP pushes for change and systemic reform in those institutions that perpetuate discrimination based on gender. WRP has been an active participant in virtually all of the major gender discrimination litigation in the Supreme Court, in advocacy efforts for women’s rights at the state and federal level, and in significant communications efforts on behalf of women and girls.
WRP focuses on women’s rights in the following priority areas: employment, education, and gender-based violence.
The Staff Attorney will report to the Director of the Women’s Rights Project and will possess the ability to contribute to all aspects of the Project’s litigation and non-litigation work.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Manage and develop significant litigation in federal and state court including trial and appellate court litigation, prepare and respond to written discovery requests, take and defend depositions, engage in motion practice, write briefs, present oral arguments, and conduct trials.

The Criminal Law Reform Project of the National office in New York City is seeking applicants for the full-time position of Paralegal .
OVERVIEW
The Criminal Law Reform Project seeks an end to excessively harsh crime policies that result in mass incarceration and criminalization and stand in the way of a just, equal, and humane society. To reduce the number of people entering the criminal punishment system, CLRP focuses on preventing over-incarceration and over-criminalization at the “front end” of that system. We fulfill our mission through strategic litigation and advocacy that promotes reform. Key priorities are creating robust statewide indigent defense systems to ensure that people charged with a crime have access to effective assistance of counsel; ending unnecessary and unjust pretrial detention through bail reform and other abusive pretrial practices; reforming unconstitutional and racially biased police practices; reforming our nation’s punitive drug policies, which have failed to achieve public safety and health while eroding constitutional rights and criminalizing unprecedented numbers of people, particularly people of color; challenging governmental abuses of power, particularly by police and prosecutors; and reclaiming equal protection of the laws and guaranteeing substantive and procedural due process protections at each stage of the arrest-to-sentencing process of criminal cases.
The Project is part of the ACLU's Trone Center for Justice and Equality, which also includes the National Prison Project, the Capital Punishment Project, and the Racial Justice Program. The Center seeks to transform the U.S. criminal justice system into one that views incarceration as an option of last - not first - resort; that is effective, fair, and free of racial bias; that rejects death as a legitimate form of punishment; and that is evidence-based rather than fear-based.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Prepare, file, review and organize litigation documents such as briefs, motions, declarations, deposition summaries, discovery requests and responses, and correspondence with co-counsel.
Maintain case files, attorneys’ correspondence files, and the CLRP litigation docket summary.

Update CLRP-related content on the ACLU website.
Act as liaison among various internal departments as well as with co-counsel and partner organizations.
Act as liaison between staff attorneys and legal administrative assistants to disseminate work assigned by attorneys and provide routine and/or procedural guidance regarding work assignments;
Provide administrative support for manager review of applications for legal administrative assistant and intern positions

Demonstrate a commitment to diversity within the office using a personal approach that values all individuals and respects differences in regards to race, ethnicity, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ability and socio-economic circumstance.
Commitment to work collaboratively and respectfully toward resolving obstacles and/or conflicts.
Handle special projects and other duties as assigned.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree required.
A minimum of two years of paralegal or related experience preferred.
Strong research skills, including internet research.
Must have outstanding written, verbal and interpersonal skills.
Ability to work independently as well as within a team.
Experience supervising staff and interns.
Must be well organized, efficient, highly motivated, able to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and see them through to completion, work well under tight deadlines, and take initiative.
Strong computer skills with advanced knowledge and experience in Microsoft Office.
Experience creating tables of contents, tables of authorities, mail merges, and creating/inserting macros.
Basic knowledge of Westlaw is preferred.
Experience with web design, layout, and electronic posting of content is a plus.

Advocacy & Policy Counsel [CSJ-05]
American Civil Liberties Union
Campaign for Smart Justice, New York, NY
For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than a million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin or record of arrest or conviction.
OVERVIEW
With 2.3 million people behind bars in this country, the United States has earned the disgraceful distinction of being the world’s largest jailer. The nation’s machine of mass incarceration severely limits the ability of people, disproportionately people of color, from participating in the social, political and economic life of this country.
The ACLU’s Campaign for Smart Justice is committed to realizing a new criminal justice system – one that is substantially smaller than its current size while also keeping communities safe, advancing racial justice, treating people fairly, and using fiscal resources wisely. The ACLU’s Campaign for Smart Justice works with partners to build a movement for social change and win state-based reforms needed to cut the size of our nation’s incarcerated population by 50 percent. The Campaign is committed to advancing both decarceration and racial justice. The issue of mass incarceration is ripe for bipartisan involvement, and the ACLU works collaboratively with groups across the political spectrum to achieve our goal of ending mass incarceration.
The Advocacy & Policy Counsel is a key part of the ACLU’s national Campaign for Smart Justice team and will help lead campaign-oriented nationwide advocacy to advance state legislative and policy initiatives aimed at ending mass incarceration in the United States. This includes mandatory minimum, habitual offender, truth-in-sentencing, bail, parole, violent offense, and prosecutorial reforms. The Advocacy & Policy Counsel will work closely with the Campaign leadership team, as well as organizers, lobbyists, communications staff, litigators, and others at ACLU affiliate offices and with partners throughout the country.
The Advocacy & Policy Counsel is a non-litigating attorney position for a lawyer with exceptional analytical and writing abilities. Work will include leading the Campaign’s efforts in analyzing and drafting state legislation and legislative amendments, preparing advocacy and public education materials, researching legal and policy issues related to state legislation, and strategizing decarceration advocacy opportunities. The Advocacy & Policy Counsel position is based in the Campaign for Smart Justice’s New York City headquarters and is supervised by the Deputy Director of the Campaign.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Monitor, research, and analyze opportunities for decarceration in states and localities across the country.
Draft and analyze legislation.
Draft policy analyses designed to effect change by state policymakers.
Conduct research on proposed state legislation and policy initiatives.
Develop and produce advocacy and public education tools, including reports and briefers, for use by the Campaign.
Work with ACLU affiliates in setting policy goals and developing strategies to achieve decarceration outcomes.
Provide policy support to priority ACLU affiliate offices engaged in decarceration advocacy campaigns.
Identify analytical and research needs to support the Campaign’s policy goals.
Facilitate intra-organizational working groups oriented around key Campaign policy priorities.
Represent the ACLU in national coalitions and develop relationships with allies and other organizations to further advocacy goals.
Demonstrate a commitment to diversity within the office using a personal approach that values all individuals and respects differences in regards to race, ethnicity, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ability and socio-economic circumstance, record of arrest or conviction.
Commitment to work collaboratively and respectfully toward resolving obstacles and/or conflicts.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
A JD degree and a minimum of five years of experience working in criminal justice policy advocacy.
Personal experience being incarcerated or in other ways entangled with the criminal justice system, preferred.
Strong familiarity with the criminal justice system and with public policy and legislative processes.
Exceptional ability to conduct legal and policy analysis and research.
Ability to work independently as well as within a team.
Excellent research, writing, analytical, and communication skills.
Ability to communicate complex legal issues to the general public.
Ability to simultaneously handle multiple tasks, work efficiently and quickly, and meet deadlines, while remaining composed under pressure.

Advocacy & Policy Counsel [CSJ-05]
American Civil Liberties Union
Campaign for Smart Justice, New York, NY
For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than a million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin or record of arrest or conviction.
OVERVIEW
With 2.3 million people behind bars in this country, the United States has earned the disgraceful distinction of being the world’s largest jailer. The nation’s machine of mass incarceration severely limits the ability of people, disproportionately people of color, from participating in the social, political and economic life of this country.
The ACLU’s Campaign for Smart Justice is committed to realizing a new criminal justice system – one that is substantially smaller than its current size while also keeping communities safe, advancing racial justice, treating people fairly, and using fiscal resources wisely. The ACLU’s Campaign for Smart Justice works with partners to build a movement for social change and win state-based reforms needed to cut the size of our nation’s incarcerated population by 50 percent. The Campaign is committed to advancing both decarceration and racial justice. The issue of mass incarceration is ripe for bipartisan involvement, and the ACLU works collaboratively with groups across the political spectrum to achieve our goal of ending mass incarceration.
The Advocacy & Policy Counsel is a key part of the ACLU’s national Campaign for Smart Justice team and will help lead campaign-oriented nationwide advocacy to advance state legislative and policy initiatives aimed at ending mass incarceration in the United States. This includes mandatory minimum, habitual offender, truth-in-sentencing, bail, parole, violent offense, and prosecutorial reforms. The Advocacy & Policy Counsel will work closely with the Campaign leadership team, as well as organizers, lobbyists, communications staff, litigators, and others at ACLU affiliate offices and with partners throughout the country.
The Advocacy & Policy Counsel is a non-litigating attorney position for a lawyer with exceptional analytical and writing abilities. Work will include leading the Campaign’s efforts in analyzing and drafting state legislation and legislative amendments, preparing advocacy and public education materials, researching legal and policy issues related to state legislation, and strategizing decarceration advocacy opportunities. The Advocacy & Policy Counsel position is based in the Campaign for Smart Justice’s New York City headquarters and is supervised by the Deputy Director of the Campaign.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Identify analytical and research needs to support the Campaign’s policy goals.

Commitment to work collaboratively and respectfully toward resolving obstacles and/or conflicts.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
A JD degree and a minimum of five years of experience working in criminal justice policy advocacy.

The Criminal Law Reform Project of the National office in New York City is seeking applicants for the full-time position of Paralegal .
OVERVIEW
The Criminal Law Reform Project seeks an end to excessively harsh crime policies that result in mass incarceration and criminalization and stand in the way of a just, equal, and humane society. To reduce the number of people entering the criminal punishment system, CLRP focuses on preventing over-incarceration and over-criminalization at the “front end” of that system. We fulfill our mission through strategic litigation and advocacy that promotes reform. Key priorities are creating robust statewide indigent defense systems to ensure that people charged with a crime have access to effective assistance of counsel; ending unnecessary and unjust pretrial detention through bail reform and other abusive pretrial practices; reforming unconstitutional and racially biased police practices; reforming our nation’s punitive drug policies, which have failed to achieve public safety and health while eroding constitutional rights and criminalizing unprecedented numbers of people, particularly people of color; challenging governmental abuses of power, particularly by police and prosecutors; and reclaiming equal protection of the laws and guaranteeing substantive and procedural due process protections at each stage of the arrest-to-sentencing process of criminal cases.
The Project is part of the ACLU's Trone Center for Justice and Equality, which also includes the National Prison Project, the Capital Punishment Project, and the Racial Justice Program. The Center seeks to transform the U.S. criminal justice system into one that views incarceration as an option of last - not first - resort; that is effective, fair, and free of racial bias; that rejects death as a legitimate form of punishment; and that is evidence-based rather than fear-based.

Work closely with Risk professionals developing analytics at pivotal decision points, providing support and documentation for project decisions
Enhance the process for forecasting additional credit-driven metrics related to CCAR (e.g. delinquency fees, outside agency fees, and segmentation level loss estimations)
Present project milestones and gain senior management and regulator buy in at various stages of the project.
Candidate must have strong Excel skills and experience with complex Excel functions.
Must be able to synthesize complex concepts into understandable business solutions, and demonstrate thought leadership in developing value added analyses.
Must be results driven and proactive with the ability to manage multiple work streams and work within tight timelines.
Able to think strategically and have the relationship skills necessary to partner and drive results in a cross-functional team environment.
Excellent oral and written communication skills and ability to present on a regular basis to senior management.
Previous card/risk management/regulatory experience or a Masters-level degree a plus.
Working knowledge of SQL/SAS or other programming experience is highly desirable.
Employment eligibility to work with American Express in the U.S. is required as the company will not pursue visa sponsorship for these positions.
