Job Description
Associate Attorney – Nonprofit Legal Aid | Consumer Advocacy
Launch your legal career with meaningful courtroom experience while making a lasting impact in Northern New Jersey communities.
A well-established nonprofit legal aid organization is seeking early-career attorneys to represent clients in consumer advocacy matters while developing practical litigation skills through courtroom appearances, motion practice, and mentorship from experienced attorneys.
This is an exceptional opportunity for newly admitted attorneys and attorneys early in their careers to gain hands-on litigation experience, work directly with clients, and build a long-term career in public interest law.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Immediate courtroom and litigation experience
- Hands-on client representation
- Mentorship and training from experienced attorneys
- Strong pathway to a permanent Staff Attorney position
- Supportive and collaborative legal team
- Hybrid work schedule available upon permanent hire
- Meaningful work serving individuals and families throughout Northern New Jersey
Position Overview
This full-time position begins as a four-month engagement (35 hours per week) with a strong opportunity to transition into a permanent Staff Attorney role.
Openings are available in:
- Hackensack, NJ
- Paterson, NJ
- Jersey City, NJ
Responsibilities
Attorneys in this role will:
- Interview and advise clients
- Draft pleadings, motions, and other legal documents
- Conduct legal research
- Prepare cases for hearings and court appearances
- Advocate for clients in court
- Collaborate with supervising attorneys to develop litigation strategies and provide high-quality legal representation
Qualifications
We are seeking attorneys who:
- Are admitted to practice law in the State of New Jersey
- Have strong written and oral advocacy skills
- Want meaningful courtroom and litigation experience
- Enjoy working directly with clients
- Have an interest in consumer advocacy, litigation, or public interest law
Prior legal services or nonprofit experience is helpful but not required. Comprehensive training and ongoing mentorship are provided.
Compensation & Growth Opportunity
This temporary engagement pays the equivalent of approximately $70,000–$79,000 annually, depending on experience.
Attorneys who transition into permanent Staff Attorney positions begin at approximately $79,000+ , with comprehensive benefits and salary progression based on relevant experience.
If you're looking for a position where you'll receive exceptional mentorship, gain real courtroom experience, and make a tangible difference in the lives of New Jersey residents, we'd love to hear from you.
