Job DescriptionJob Description

About the ACLU of North Carolina 

Founded in 1965, the ACLU of North Carolina (ACLU-NC), an affiliate of the national American Civil Liberties Union, is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works to create a more perfect union. Our mission is to realize the promise of the United States and North Carolina Constitutions for all and expand the reach of their guarantees. 

Working in courts, the General Assembly, and in communities, we bring together litigation, legislative advocacy, communications, and organizing strategies to empower communities and achieve our objectives in major issue areas including criminal law reform, racial justice, LGBTQIA+ equality, reproductive freedom, and the rights of immigrants. With over 25,000 members and supporters across the state, the ACLU-NC has a staff of more than 20 people with an office in Raleigh.   

The Opportunity 

The ACLU of North Carolina Legal Foundation (ACLU-NC) seeks a Legal Fellow for a paid, one-year position (which may potentially be extended to two years) to begin in the fall of 2025. This position is open to recent law school graduates and graduates who recently completed a judicial clerkship or another fellowship. Clerkship experience is preferred but not required. The Legal Fellow will work to advance our major issue areas: criminal law reform, racial justice, LGBTQI+ equality, reproductive freedom, or the rights of immigrants. Proposed projects often combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education. While internal funding is available, securing full or partial outside funding is highly encouraged but not required. 

What You’ll Do

  • Coordinating and preparing applications for funding and all reporting needed to sustain or comply with conditions of funding.

  • Drafting legal memoranda, pleadings, affidavits, motions, and briefs. 

  • Reviewing and analyzing documents to support litigation and advocacy. 

  • Participating in discovery and trial practice. 

  • Providing as-needed legal research, writing, and editing support for ACLU-NC. 

  • Drafting and editing public education and non-litigation advocacy materials. 

  • Conducting community outreach and know-your-rights presentations. 

  • Performing occasional administrative work as necessary to support litigation efforts. 

  • Occasionally traveling for work and working on the weekends and evenings if needed. 

Who You Are 

  • J.D. degree at the start of the fellowship. 

  • Admission to the North Carolina bar or pending efforts to seek admission to the North Carolina bar at the start of the fellowship. 

  • Demonstrated commitment to public interest law, civil liberties, and racial justice, and to the mission and goals of the ACLU-NC.   

  • Excellent research, writing and verbal communication skills, and ability to explain complex legal concepts in plain language. 

  • Ability to conduct complex legal analysis and fact-finding in a fast-faced litigation environment.  

  • Excellent interpersonal skills, including respect for others’ lived experiences, and ability to work and interact respectfully and thoughtfully with people from backgrounds different from your own.  

  • Ability to work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team of legal staff, communications, policy and advocacy colleagues, as well as in coalition with outside organizations/law firms. 

  • Being self-motivated with the ability to take initiative, manage a variety of tasks, and meet deadlines. 

  • Demonstrated personal commitment to social justice, equity, and inclusion is required, including a personal approach that values individual lived experience and respects differences of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ability, and socio-economic circumstances.  

  • Excellent computer skills including knowledge of Microsoft Office suite. 

Compensation

  • Flexible spending and dependent care accounts 

  • Up to twelve weeks of paid medical leave  

  • Life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance   

  • Short-term disability and long-term disability insurance   

  • 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan with employer match   

  • Free on-site parking
