The ACLU seeks applicants for the full-time position of Paralegal in the Criminal Law Reform Project (CLRP) of the ACLU’s National office in New York, NY. This is a hybrid role that has in-office requirements of two (2) days per week or eight (8) days per month.
The Criminal Law Reform Project advocates for the constitutional and civil rights of those impacted by criminal legal systems. We use litigation and advocacy to confront systemic government conduct that fuels the carceral state and police abuse, and oppresses people based on race, class, and other characteristics. CLRP does this work because everyone suspected, accused, or convicted of a crime deserves dignity, fairness, and an opportunity to thrive. Ultimately, we seek to shift power to under resourced communities and to elevate approaches to justice and safety that advance fundamental rights for all.
Reporting to the Project Director or Deputy Director , the Paralegal will be responsible for a wide range of administrative and clerical tasks to support and advance our litigation, advocacy, and public education efforts.
The ACLU is committed to equity, transparency, and clarity in pay. Consistent with our compensation philosophy, there is a set salary for each role based on geographic work location. The annual salary for this position is $78,979 ( Level - CBU ), reflecting the salary of a position based in New York, NY.
