The ERP provides free legal advice and counseling to help tenants facing eviction to negotiate settlements and the RTC provides extended representation in those cases where negotiation does not result in a settlement. These are full-time, exempt positions.

Provide legal advice, brief services, and extended representation to renters. Coordinate with rental assistance programs, supportive services, mediation, and other programs to connect renters with the resources necessary to preserve their housing. Exercise independent judgment while engaging in all aspects of litigation: intake interviews; charting case strategy; drafting pleadings, motions, and discovery; interviewing and preparing witnesses; and conducting discovery and investigation. Defend renters in eviction court in both bench and jury trials.
Participate in community legal education projects.

Demonstrated commitment to racial justice and affinity for legal aid work. Ideal candidate will have participated in a law school clinic or internships with legal aid organizations or will have engaged in other work that builds judgment in working with individuals in crisis. We will give a preference to candidates who are bilingual in Spanish.
