About the role
The Children’s Law Center in New York, NY, seeks a staff attorney to advance the agency’s mission in child custody and related proceedings. You will manage your own caseload, collaborate with paralegals, social workers and a writing unit, and provide zealous representation from intake through trial.
Eligibility requires admission to the NYS bar, strong advocacy skills, and a commitment to public interest work.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
