DEPARTMENT: </b>City Bar Justice Center<br>
<b>REPORTS TO: </b>Executive Director<br>
<b>FLSA STATUS: </b>Exempt<br>
<br>
The City Bar Justice Center seeks an experienced and multi-skilled attorney committed to expanding access to justice to join us as Director of the Justice Center&rsquo;s Elder Law Project. This position reports principally to the Justice Center&rsquo;s Executive Director, and to the Director of Legal Services on an ad hoc basis.</div><br>
The Elder Law Project (ELP) offers hybrid-based legal services, clinics, and informational presentations free of charge to limited-income New York City-area seniors, empowering them to protect their legal rights and make informed legal decisions with a goal of aging with greater security and dignity. Critical to ELP&rsquo;s services model is a network of trained volunteer attorneys who prepare clients&rsquo; essential life and estate planning documents, including basic wills as well as healthcare proxies, powers of attorney, living wills, and disposition of remains designations. ELP staff and volunteers also offer advice, counseling, and referrals on government benefits, landlord-tenant disputes, fraud/scam prevention, and other topics, and connect ELP clients with the Justice Center&rsquo;s consumer bankruptcy, immigration, homeowner stabilization, or shelter advocacy services as needed. ELP also cultivates relationships with area senior centers to reach seniors where they are, whether homebound or online, and collaborates with these centers to host bilingual clinics and presentations covering topics like Medicare overview, life and estate planning, and scam prevention. ELP staff and volunteers also often visit ELP clients at home to prepare and sign sensitive legal documents in person.<br>
<br>
The City Bar Justice Center provides high-quality, free civil legal services benefiting over 27,000 New Yorkers each year who lack the resources to hire private counsel. With a staff of about 50, the Justice Center also relies on expansive partnerships with law firms, corporate legal departments, the courts, the City Bar, and other stakeholders. In FY2025, nearly 3,000 pro bono attorneys donated services to support legal services clinics and client matter work drawn from the Justice Center&rsquo;s dozen civil legal services projects.<br>
