Job’o’th’Week (Entry-Level Edition)
The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland’s attorneys represent individual clients in a variety of legal issues that impact shelter, health/safety, and economic security. Areas of practice include housing, consumer, public benefits, education, family/domestic violence, employment/barriers to employment, and tax.
The Position
In addition to providing legal assistance to individual clients, Legal Aid attorneys engage in broad-based advocacy to impact client groups and communities. Legal Aid attorneys work in partnership with other service providers to address community issues and engage in community legal education. For example, Legal Aid is currently building partnerships with schools and other providers to serve the needs of families with small children, with a goal of stabilizing families so that children are able to succeed in school. Legal Aid attorneys also collaborate with local, state and national colleagues.
One attorney hired during this process will represent clients in a variety of immigration matters, but especially focused on serving those immigrants whose physical safety is at risk – victims of domestic violence, crime, and human trafficking. The other attorney’s assignment will be determined.
