  • Exceptional writing and analytical skills are required. Judicial clerkships and/or experience litigating federal civil rights and civil liberties cases are a plus.
  • Demonstrated skills in legal analysis, research, and strategic thinking.
  • Substantive knowledge and understanding of constitutional law and civil liberties issues.
  • Excellent communication skills with both legal and non-legal audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to work cooperatively on a variety of projects with lawyers, other staff members, and with community organizations and coalitions.
  • A commitment to diversity and a personal approach that values the individual and respects differences of race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, ability, and socioeconomic circumstance.
  • Willing to work some evenings, weekends, and holidays.
  • Willing to periodically work long and extended hours.
  • Willing to occasionally travel locally/regionally as needed, including to prisons and jails.
