About the role

Maryland Legal Aid seeks a paralegal for the Tenant Right to Counsel Project in the Cecil/Harford area (Bel Air, MD). You will support trial representation, engage with renters, and help prevent eviction through multi-faceted advocacy and community outreach. We value candidates with strong writing, research, and communication skills, and a commitment to public interest law. Hybrid work arrangements and a comprehensive benefits package are offered.

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.
