Since 1932, Legal Aid has provided civil legal assistance to clients in individual cases and engaged in systemic reform. Currently, we provide individual representation in consumer law, domestic violence/family law, housing, public benefits, and appellate matters. We also work on immigration matters and help individuals with the collateral consequences of their involvement with the criminal justice system. From the experiences of our clients, we identify opportunities for law reform, public policy advocacy, and systemic impact and appellate litigation.

The Supervising Attorney will be one of two co-supervisors providing overall leadership and vision for Legal Aid’s consumer law practice. The Supervising Attorney will report to the Legal Director for the Direct Legal Services Program.  

 

Responsibilities: 

 

Supervising Attorney and Professional Support Staff

  • Participate in performance evaluations; support supervisees’ professional development by working to identify strengths, areas for growth and improvement, and goals. 
  • Perform administrative and management functions necessary for supervision and organizational operations, including reviewing leave requests and timekeeping, and ensuring attorneys follow proper policies relating to case management and recordkeeping. 
  • Support supervisees in meeting case handling expectations while providing high quality legal services. 

 

Leadership and Management of the Unit 

  • Review and assign new cases; convene regular unit meetings; identify or lead training opportunities; create uniform systems and polices for the unit. 
  • Oversee court-based legal services projects focused on providing assistance to low-income litigants with foreclosure and debt collection cases in DC Superior Court. 
  • Maintain a modest caseload of consumer law matters for direct representation, either as sole counsel or co-counsel. 
  • Engage with leaders at DC Superior Court and relevant DC agencies to promote access to justice and the effective implementation of laws and programs impacting Legal Aid’s consumer client community. 
  • In collaboration with Legal Aid’s Development Unit, draft grant applications and reports relating to funding sources that support the unit’s work. 
  • Together with the Policy unit, identify and advance policy goals to address systemic issues impacting low-income District consumers through legislative and other reform. 
  • Work with Legal Aid’s Barbara McDowell Appellate Project to monitor for and participate in appellate cases with potential impact on the unit’s priority issues. 

 

Leadership of the Organization 

  • Supervise intake and conflict clearance. 
  • Consider the impact of proposed organization-wide policies or actions on the Consumer Law Unit, as well as the impact on the entire organization. 
  • Participate in organization-wide discussions and initiatives.

  • Ability to work skillfully, both independently and collaboratively with teams. 
  • Experience managing or supervising attorneys preferred. 
  • Proficiency or fluency in a language spoken by our client community, other than English, would be a positive factor.  

 

Salary and Benefits:
