About The Position
The Southern Center for Human Rights (SCHR) invites applications for a Human Rights Investigator to join its Impact Litigation Unit (ILU). The Impact Litigation Unit (ILU) challenges unconstitutional practices of the criminal legal system through federal and state litigation in Alabama and Georgia. Over the last decade, the ILU's work has included cases on behalf of accused people living in poverty who are denied their constitutional right to counsel; people facing debtors' prison practices; people experiencing human rights abuses in prisons and jails, people who have been harmed by police, and people who are serving extreme prison sentences. The job of the Investigator is to work with attorneys to investigate allegations of systemic abuse or neglect by prison or jail officials, courts, and other actors in the criminal legal system; to advocate for people experiencing harm, and to help build cases demanding fairness and more humane treatment.
