Job Description:
Laurel Legal Services is a non-profit organization in the
Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network (PLAN). Our mission is to ensure
quality legal representation and education to eligible individuals
and to be a recognized community partner as a resource for justice.
We are seeking Staff Attorneys for our Cambria County office - and
we are also seeking the same position for our Westmoreland and
Clarion County offices.
As a member of our team, you will:
Advise and represent parents and other custodians in family matters
related to child custody, child support, and divorce
Advise and represent petitioners for protection from abuse, sexual
violence, and intimidation
Advise and represent our clients in other civil matters related to
housing and finances
Maintain a commitment to advocate for the rights of our low-income
community
This position will be full-time with benefits but with a
prohibition against the outside practice of law. Flexible work
schedules are permitted, when possible, though court appearances
will be required as determined by the Courts of Common Pleas in our
six counties, which also include Indiana, Armstrong, and Jefferson
Counties. A license to practice in Pennsylvania is generally
required, though those sitting for the July 2023 bar examination
may be considered.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential tenets of our
mission, and our work environment and practices reflect our
commitment to uplifting the marginalized and oppressed communities
we serve. We strive to recruit and retain a full spectrum of staff
who are representative of our communities' diverse
demographics.
