Attorney or Senior Attorney, Education Law

Legal Aid Justice Center seeks an attorney who specializes in Education Law for its Youth Justice Program in our Charlottesville, Richmond or Falls Church offices.  The Attorney or Senior Attorney (depending on qualifications) will work closely with organizers, social workers, families, community members, local organizations, statewide partners, and other LAJC advocates to identify and track systemic problems affecting our communities.  The Attorney is expected to assist in addressing these problems through a combination of individual advice and representation, as well as impact litigation, community outreach, engagement and education, and state and local policy advocacy. The exact mix of duties will depend on the skills, experience, and interests of the person hired, as well as the needs of the program at that time.
