1 month ago

Spokane, United States King County Bar Association Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

MISSION
The King County Bar Association promotes and supports a diverse and collegial membership; works with the judiciary to achieve excellence, equity, and accessibility in the administration of justice; and benefits the community through public service and engagement in public policy.
   
The Housing Justice Project (HJP) is a homelessness prevention program providing accessible, volunteer-based legal services to low-income, residential tenants facing eviction in King and Spokane Counties. Legal assistance is provided through counsel and advice, negotiated settlements, limited representation at Show Cause hearings, and/or referrals depending on tenants’ needs and financial eligibility. 

POSITION SUMMARY
The Spokane HJP Legal Assistant/Resource Coordinator will work inside the courthouse to coordinate tenants with eviction defense/right-to-counsel services when tenants arrive at their hearing unrepresented. The Coordinator will also work with other local organizations and nonprofits to refer tenants to resources outside of right-to-counsel and HJP’s scope of representation. The Legal Assistant/Coordinator will also assist with keeping track of deadlines and drafting court documents, and will be the first point of contact for our clients.

o    Rental assistance
o    Utilities assistance
o    Relocation assistance

o    Domestic Violence advocacy
•    Coordinate with political leaders and community organizers regarding upcoming events relating to tenant’s rights, such as city council meetings, town hall meetings, fundraisers; 
•    Support attorneys working on cases, especially nonpayment of rent cases; 
•    Assemble court filings and other legal materials;      
•    Provide case management services to HJP clients facing eviction; and
•    Other duties as assigned 

POSITION REQUIREMENTS

•    Familiarity with court filings and preparing legal paperwork for defending tenants in unlawful detainers;  
•    Familiarity with Legalserver and client management systems;
•    Ability to work on short deadlines and in a fast-paced environment; 
•    Attention to detail; 
•    Ability to work with groups and teams; 
•    Experience working with vulnerable populations experiencing risk of housing loss. 
•    Ability to track and consistently meet deadlines and multi-task; 
•    Demonstrated commitment to understanding and addressing issues facing low-income and vulnerable people;
•    Strong communication skills;
•    Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with diverse groups of people;
•    Demonstrated understanding of the impact of race, bias, discrimination, and differential treatment of communities disproportionately composed of Black, Indigenous, and people of color, individuals who identify as LGBTQ or other sexual minorities, individuals with disabilities, immigrants, limited English speaking persons, and others who have been historically marginalized in rental housing markets and in the law and justice system
•    Creative problem solving.
