  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365, and the ability to quickly learn and effectively use case management, CRM and court databases, and other technology.
  • Ability to connect with people from different backgrounds, capacity to support our team in providing trauma-informed services, and demonstrated enthusiasm for public interest legal work, serving communities that are under-resourced, and advancing racial equity and social and economic justice .
  • A team player with an ability to interact respectfully with clients, volunteer attorneys, government employees, and fellow staff members.
