Documentation and Filing: Prepare, review, and file legal documents such as petitions for expungement, complaints, motions, and affidavits. Ensure all documentation is accurate, organized, and submitted in a timely manner.

Client Advocacy: Serve as an advocate for homeless clients, both within the legal system and in interactions with social service agencies, landlords, and other relevant parties. Communicate effectively on behalf of clients to ensure their rights are upheld.

Collaboration: Collaborate with attorneys, social workers, and other members of the legal team to develop comprehensive strategies for client representation. Participate in case meetings, trainings, and other team activities.

Outreach and Education: Conduct outreach to homeless individuals to inform them of their legal rights, including expungement opportunities, and available resources. Develop and deliver educational workshops and presentations on relevant legal topics.

Data Management: Maintain accurate and confidential records of client interactions, case progress, expungement proceedings, and outcomes. Compile data for reporting purposes and assist in program evaluation efforts.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experience facilitating expungement proceedings and familiarity with relevant laws and procedures.

  • Proficiency in conducting legal research and drafting legal documents.
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to interact compassionately with clients from diverse backgrounds.
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple tasks, and prioritize workload effectively.
