Job Description

Director, LGBT Law Project

AGENCY AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

ILS is a statewide, not-for profit organization that provides free civil legal services to eligible clients in civil cases through 8 branch offices. Common issues ILS provides advice and representation on are housing, family law, public benefits, immigration, expungements, and consumer law.

The LGBT Project is a statewide program that provides comprehensive legal services to, and advocacy for, LGBTQ Hoosiers. The project litigates cases in state and federal trial and appellate courts and provides advocacy and education. The most common practice areas include obtaining accurate and affirming identity documents and anti-discrimination work. The LGBT Project is primarily funded by the Victims of Crime Office.

The LGBT Project is the only legal program in Indiana dedicated to representing LGBTQ+ Hoosiers. As a result, we’ve led most of the state court litigation on behalf of LGTBQ+ individuals. For example, in the last 4 years, the project has litigated eight name and gender marker change appeals and is currently litigating the right to have nonbinary IDs. The Project is also co-counseling two school discrimination cases with the Indiana ACLU.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER:

ILS is committed to promoting diversity, multiculturalism, and inclusion and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

Collaborate with other ILS offices and projects by sharing expertise, research, and pleadings, and by consulting, training, and co- counseling cases as appropriate.

Provide community education, and serve as a resource to community agencies, concerning the project’s client population and areas of law. Manage project grants, grant reports and grant applications in connection with the ILS Resource Development Director. Ensure the project operates in compliance with all relevant statutes, regulations, rules and grant requirements Contribute to ILS’s mission to advance racial justice
