new leadership is great - Staff Attorney Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law Employee Review

Under the direction of its co-founders, CHRCL won landmark cases that continue to define immigrants' rights (Plyler v. Doe, Flores, LULAC v. Arizona..). After the passing of the former President, the organization is going through a transition with a focus on following a community lawyering model while carrying on CHRCL's legacy. The staff is small but wonderful and there is so much opportunity for new talent looking for the support of a financially healthy organization, the partnership and guidance of senior staff with Supreme Court experience, a small caseload with a high impact, the opportunity to build a holistic legal advocacy strategy, and the flexibility of an independent litigator.

The organization is going through transition, which brings some challenges along with the opportunities. Any longstanding organization always has room to build new community relationships and grow.

you will learn a lot, minimal supervision, casual dress code

zero training or guidance; you are thrown in to sink or swim but what is at stake are client's immigration cases so there's no room for trial and error. minimal pay all the while you will be made to wear multiple hats and complete constant tasks outside of your job description. zero appreciation or respect of any boundaries from executive director, he treated all us legal assistants as personal assistants and demanded things be done without providing enough information. he what make us feel small, would take calls and ignore us while demanding we stay seated in front of him waiting for his attention, and would be extremely rude to me and insensitive to clients during interviews.
