American Civil Liberties Union Foundation
Criminal Law Reform 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. 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 second- or third-year law students and recent law school graduates to apply for a sponsorship opportunity to work with us as a Legal Fellow.

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 the 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. CLRP works closely with the ACLU’s Campaign for Smart Justice, which collaborates with partners to build a movement for social change, promote racial justice, and win state-based reforms needed to cut the size of our nation’s incarcerated population by 50 percent.

Fall 2020 Legal Fellowship Sponsorship Opportunity
Notice to Third-Year Law Students and Recent Graduates
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation
National Prison Project and Women’s Rights Project
New York, NY or Washington, D.C.
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. 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 second- or third-year law students and recent law graduates to apply for a sponsorship opportunity to work with us as a Legal Fellow. The National Prison Project and the Women’s Rights Project of the National office based in D.C. and New York, respectively, seek applicants to consider for a sponsored fellowship such as Skadden, Equal Justice Works, or other public interest fellowships to begin in the fall of 2020.
OVERVIEW
The National Prison Project (NPP) seeks to ensure constitutional conditions of confinement in prisons, jails, juvenile facilities, and immigration detention facilities. The Project has successfully litigated on behalf of prisoners in more than 25 states, and since 1991 has represented prisoners in five cases before the United States Supreme Court. The Project is the only organization litigating conditions of confinement cases nationwide on behalf of men, women, and children. NPP policy priorities include reducing prison overcrowding, improving prisoner health care, eliminating violence and maltreatment, and increasing oversight and accountability in prisons, jails, and other places of detention. You can learn more about the work of the National Prison Project here .
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. You can learn more about the work of the Women’s Rights Project here .
We are particularly interested in a project combatting sexual violence behind bars. Fifteen years after the passage of the landmark Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), pervasive sexual violence behind bars remains a nationwide problem. Although DOJ and ICE adopted comprehensive regulations to implement the law in 2012 and 2014 respectively, in practice they have largely been realized on paper rather than on the ground – and have not created the major cultural and operational shift in correctional institutions originally anticipated. The result is that thousands of people continue to suffer rape, sexual abuse and sexual harassment with little to no protections in institutions across the country. Women, LGBT and gender non-conforming prisoners are particularly vulnerable, regardless of whether they are in custody for immigration or criminal violations. Trans and gender nonconforming incarcerated people also experience high rates of sexual violence from both staff and other prisoners. Trans women placed in men’s prisons against their will face particularly heightened vulnerability. With the ongoing detention of individuals for immigration violations and continued high incarceration rates generally, the need for actualizing the potential of PREA, and urging greater protection, is even more urgent.
The ACLU National Prison Project (NPP) has been a key proponent of strengthening PREA to protect men, women and children in prison, jail and detention settings at all levels. But more needs to be done and NPP is in a unique position to do this work because of its national reach and existing expertise. The Women’s Rights Project (WRP) has fought to create greater state accountability for government perpetuation of violence against women, through litigation and advocacy identifying such violence as a civil rights issue. While case authorities enforcing and applying PREA standards are sparse in the criminal incarceration context, they are even fewer in the immigration detention field. This fellow will allow NPP and WRP to significantly advance both advocacy and litigation in the arena of combatting sexual violence behind bars.
The fellowship is intended to focus on two primary areas. The first focus area will be on providing technical assistance and training to ACLU affiliates and allies on methods to use DOJ and ICE audit data related to PREA to improve and monitor correctional policies in their home jurisdictions.
The second prong of the fellowship will focus on developing the law around sexual violence in custodial settings. The dearth of case law provides an opportunity to create positive judicial precedent in select states or circuits. In addition, a gap in the law exists around the issue of consent behind bars. In order to more actively shape the law in this area, the fellow will work with NPP’s Appellate Litigation Project to monitor pro se prisoner and detainee filings to identify promising cases and potentially file amicus briefs or offer to serve as appellate counsel. The fellow will also collaborate with the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project to identify potential cases.
Our staff will work with candidates to develop their proposals for submission, helping tailor the proposal to address an important civil liberties issue. Proposed projects often combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Conduct legal research and analysis and develop theories to support new litigation projects.
Draft legal memoranda, pleadings, affidavits, motions, and briefs.
Interview witnesses and potential clients.
Participate in discovery and trial practice.
Draft and edit public education and non-litigation advocacy materials.

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.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
D. or expected to receive a J.D by the spring of 2020.
Demonstrated commitment to public interest law, civil liberties, gender justice, racial justice, prisoners’ rights, immigrants’ rights, and eradicating gender-based violence and sexual violence behind bars.
Willingness to work closely with the National Prison Project and the Women’s Rights Project through the funding application process.
Excellent research, writing, and verbal communication skills.
Demonstrated ability to conduct complex legal analysis and fact-finding.
Excellent interpersonal skills and a proven ability to work independently as well as within a team.
Self-motivated with the ability to take initiative, manage a variety of tasks and see projects through to completion.
Commitment to the mission of the ACLU.
COMPENSATION
The ACLU offers a generous and comprehensive compensation and benefits package, commensurate with experience and within parameters of the ACLU compensation scale, to supplement the external funding.
HOW TO APPLY
If you would like to be considered for a sponsorship opportunity, please submit: a letter of interest that includes a description of a project proposal (please indicate in your letter of interest whether you only seek sponsorship for your proposal or would be open to other ideas)
current resume

Fall 2020 Legal Fellowship Sponsorship - Women’s Rights Project, NY
Office: Legal Fellowships
Location: New York
MAY 8, 2019
Fall 2020 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. 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 second- or 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 2020.
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 bias in big data and algorithms. Increasingly, the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence in both public and private decisions means that engaging with algorithmic systems is crucial to protecting civil rights and civil liberties in the twenty-first century. The ACLU is uniquely well-positioned to address these issues because it possesses deep expertise on both civil rights enforcement, and on the impacts of big-data driven tools and digital systems on equality. The Women’s Rights Project, Racial Justice Project and the Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project work at the intersection of these technology-driven concerns, seeking to protect the rights of those most harmed by the explosive growth of these new systems—members of groups already marginalized by discrimination and exclusion.
Building on litigation already filed by the National ACLU and its affiliates relating to algorithmic discrimination, the fellow’s project will focus on one or both of the following two emerging areas, depending on their interest and the potential external sponsor:
(1) Challenging the practice of “Weblining” by developing litigation challenging creation of digital marketing tools on platforms that exclude users from receiving advertisements for economic opportunities, such as jobs, housing, or credit, based on discriminatory criteria including gender and race.
(2) Challenging the use of predictive analytics in child welfare interventions. The fellow will develop litigation challenging the secrecy surrounding use of predictive analytics for identifying families for investigation as well as family unification plans and removals.
Our staff will work with candidates to develop their proposals for submission, helping tailor the proposal to address an important civil liberties issue. Proposed projects often combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Conduct legal research and analysis and develop theories to support new litigation projects.
Draft legal memoranda, pleadings, affidavits, motions, and briefs.
Interview witnesses and potential clients.
Participate in discovery and trial practice.
Draft and edit public education and non-litigation advocacy materials.
Provide support and assistance to ACLU affiliates and cooperating attorneys.
Help manage summer legal internship program and supervise student interns.
Engage in public speaking and attend meetings and/or conferences as needed.
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.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
D. or expected to receive a J.D by the spring of 2020.
Demonstrated commitment to public interest law, civil liberties, gender justice, racial justice, and/or eradicating employment, housing, credit, and algorithmic discrimination..
Willingness to work closely with the Women’s Rights Project through the funding application process.
Excellent research, writing, and verbal communication skills.
Demonstrated ability to conduct complex legal analysis and fact-finding.
Excellent interpersonal skills and a proven ability to work independently as well as within a team.
Self-motivated with the ability to take initiative, manage a variety of tasks and see projects through to completion.
Commitment to the mission of the ACLU.
COMPENSATION
The ACLU offers a generous and comprehensive compensation and benefits package, commensurate with experience and within parameters of the ACLU compensation scale, to supplement the external funding.
HOW TO APPLY
If you would like to be considered for a sponsorship opportunity, please submit: a letter of interest that includes a description of a project proposal (please indicate in your letter of interest whether you only seek sponsorship for your proposal or would be open to other ideas)
current resume
legal writing sample
names and telephone numbers of three references
Materials should be sent to hrjobsWRP@aclu.org referencing “2020 Legal Fellowship Sponsorship – Women’s Rights Project” in the subject line.
We will review applications on a rolling basis, but priority consideration will be given to those who submit applications by June 10, 2019.
Please indicate where you learned of this job posting.

Location: New York
MARCH 18, 2019
Paralegal [RFP-27]
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 ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for 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 Reproductive Freedom Project of the ACLU’s National office in New York City seeks applications for the full-time position of Paralegal.
OVERVIEW
The Reproductive Freedom Project of the ACLU’s National office in New York City seeks applications for a full-time Paralegal . The Paralegal will work with attorneys from the Reproductive Freedom Project, as well as provide support to staff from the National Political and Advocacy Department (NPAD) working on state legislation.
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 3 states; and
Cases seeking to expand the availability and accessibility of abortion care.
In addition, the NPAD team is working closely with our state affiliates to decriminalize abortion, shore up protections for abortion rights in state law, and expand access to abortion care. The team also provides resources, technical assistance, and support to affiliates that are fending off attacks on abortion rights and access, such as bans on abortion at various points in pregnancy, including as early as 6 weeks; restrictions on different kinds of abortion methods; and clinic shut-down laws.
The ACLU 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.
The Paralegal will attend regular staff meetings and will have the opportunity to learn about current threats to reproductive rights and justice in states across the country and the legal landscape for challenging them, as well as opportunities to expand access to reproductive health care.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Respond to requests for information about state bills and other matters from ACLU affiliates and other partners.
Compile media coverage of reproductive health, rights and justice on a daily basis.

Format, cite check, and file litigation documents in federal and state courts around the United States.
Manage litigation documents including exhibits, discovery requests, deposition transcripts, and briefs.
Help maintain databases, case files, and binders, including archiving documents in accordance with ACLU archiving policies, where appropriate.
Provide other litigation support.
Assist staff in assembling and preparing information, including multimedia presentations for conferences, media, etc.
Prepare updates for RFP information on ACLU website.
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.
Work jointly with interns and communicate routine and/or procedural guidance on projects assigned by managers.
Perform other job related special projects and other duties as assigned by the Project Attorneys.
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.
Work collaboratively and respectfully toward resolving obstacles and/or conflicts.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
A Bachelor’s degree is required. One year of legal assistant or paralegal experience preferred.
Excellent word-processing and computer skills in Windows 7 environment.
Proficient with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint.
Strong internet research skills.
Must be well organized, efficient, highly motivated, and able to handle multiple tasks at once, work well under pressure, and take initiative.
Must have strong writing, verbal and interpersonal skills, superb attention to detail and excellent phone manner.
Ability to work independently as well as within a team.

For nearly 100 years, the American Civil Liberties Union (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, preserving the right to vote, the right to have an abortion, the rights protected by the First Amendment and due process of law, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. 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, economic status, national origin, immigration status, incarceration or record of arrest or conviction. The ACLU was founded by Roger Baldwin, Crystal Eastman, Albert DeSilver and others in 1920. We are nonprofit and nonpartisan and have grown from a roomful of civil liberties activists to an organization of more than 1.6 million members and supporters. We handle nearly 6,000 court cases annually from our offices in almost every state.
The ACLU is supported by annual contributions from its members, plus grants from private foundations and individuals. It does not receive any government funding. It is entirely non-partisan, criticizing and working with Democrats and Republicans alike and establishing coalitions with groups as diverse as Planned Parenthood, the NAACP and the NRA.
