The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the strategic and operational aspects of the organization, ensuring the delivery of high-quality legal representation and support services to clients. This role involves managing a large and diverse staff, including attorneys, social workers, and administrative personnel, and requires a strong commitment to the principles of social justice and the right to counsel.
