Senior Attorney
About The Position
SJLF is a nonprofit civil rights group fighting for justice and accountability through trial litigation. With a small and mighty team of seasoned litigators, we develop novel cases in areas ripe for strategic litigation on behalf of and alongside historically excluded communities. At the same time, our two-year fellowship trains young lawyers in the nuts and bolts of trial litigation, giving them hands-on experience translating community needs and solutions to the courtroom. SJLF believes that public trial enables full participation in an open, multicultural democracy by broadcasting unheard stories and unearthing hidden facts. Since our launch in 2021, we have developed high-impact cases challenging conditions of immigration detention, police misconduct, the over-policing of people of color, punitive fines and fees, the criminalization of poverty, and violations of prisoners’ rights.
