$105 - $135 per hour

24-MAG

New York, NY
  • Remote job

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for legal professionals experienced in public interest law, civil advocacy, environmental law, impact litigation, legal aid workflows, policy advocacy, and structured legal documentation.

This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on structured public interest legal workflow review, civil and environmental case analysis, advocacy documentation, legal research, case management review, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their public interest legal expertise to review realistic legal and advocacy scenarios, evaluate documentation requirements, prepare structured written outputs, and support accurate, evidence-based legal workflow tasks.

Key Responsibilities

Professionals in this role may contribute to:

Civil Legal Aid & Public Interest Case Review

  • Review public interest legal scenarios involving intake notes, case-summary memos, pleadings, client-facing materials, advocacy letters, and case management workflows
  • Evaluate legal aid and civil advocacy materials against source records, procedural requirements, issue-specific criteria, and documented case needs
  • Support structured review of matters involving housing, family, immigration, public benefits, civil rights, consumer protection, or related public interest practice areas
  • Identify missing information, legal reasoning gaps, documentation issues, and expected case review outcomes

Environmental, Consumer & Impact Litigation Support

  • Review legal scenarios involving environmental law, consumer protection, affirmative enforcement, impact litigation, amicus work, and policy advocacy
  • Evaluate materials connected to CAA, CWA, NEPA, CERCLA, environmental justice, civil rights enforcement, or administrative advocacy based on provided source materials
  • Support structured review of pleadings, amicus drafts, policy briefs, enforcement materials, advocacy memos, and litigation documentation
  • Prepare clear written explanations for legal and advocacy decisions based on source materials and verifiable criteria

Legal Research, Case Management & Workflow Documentation

  • Review public interest workflows involving legal research, case files, grant reports, rulemaking materials, case-management notes, and multi-step legal tasks
  • Support structured review of materials connected to tools such as Westlaw, LexisNexis, Clio, MyCase, Socrata, Esri ArcGIS Hub, or similar legal and public data systems
  • Translate public interest legal workflows into clear, structured task documentation and review criteria
  • Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work

Ideal Profile

Strong candidates may have:

  • JD with 3+ years of experience in public interest law, legal aid, civil rights, environmental law, consumer protection, impact litigation, government legal work, policy advocacy, or related legal practice areas
  • Active bar admission or equivalent legal qualification
  • Experience in one or more areas such as civil legal aid, housing, family law, immigration, public benefits, civil rights, environmental law, consumer protection, affirmative enforcement, administrative advocacy, impact litigation, or amicus work
  • Familiarity with legal tools and systems such as Westlaw, LexisNexis, Clio, MyCase, Socrata, Esri ArcGIS Hub, or similar legal research and case-management platforms
  • Comfort reading and preparing legal artifacts such as intake notes, case-summary memos, pleadings, advocacy letters, policy briefs, grant reports, amicus drafts, enforcement materials, and legal research memos
  • Strong analytical thinking and written communication skills
  • Ability to translate public interest legal workflows into clear, structured task documentation

Educational Background

  • Juris Doctor degree is strongly preferred
  • Active bar admission, public interest legal experience, government legal experience, impact litigation background, legal aid experience, or equivalent practical public interest law background is highly relevant

Nice to Have

  • Experience with major legal aid organizations, public interest law firms, impact litigation nonprofits, state attorney general offices, DOJ offices, environmental advocacy organizations, civil rights organizations, or government agencies
  • Familiarity with CAA, CWA, NEPA, CERCLA, environmental justice, consumer protection statutes, civil rights frameworks, public benefits systems, or administrative rulemaking
  • Experience preparing or reviewing pleadings, policy briefs, amicus drafts, advocacy letters, case memos, intake notes, grant reports, or rulemaking comments
  • Background in civil rights, civil legal aid, environmental law, consumer protection, affirmative enforcement, policy advocacy, or impact litigation
  • Strong attention to detail in case-file-heavy, advocacy-heavy, and documentation-based legal workflows

Why This Opportunity

  • Apply public interest law and civil advocacy expertise to structured remote project work
  • Contribute to high-quality legal workflow review, advocacy documentation, case analysis, and public interest legal research
  • Work on flexible, project-based assignments aligned with your public interest legal background
  • Use your legal judgment in a focused, detail-oriented review environment
  • Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation

Contract Details

  • Independent contractor role
  • Fully remote with flexible scheduling
  • Part-time commitment depending on project availability
  • Competitive rates between $105–$135 per hour depending on expertise
  • Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
