Subject: [DRBA] Relman, Dane & Colfax is hiring for four civil rights paralegal positions

Friends:

[Sorry for cross-posting]

Relman, Dane & Colfax-a 15-lawyer civil rights law firm based in Washington, DC-is looking for a total of four paralegals.  We need one to start ASAP and continue through June or July 2012.  We need three others to start in June 2011 and continue through June or July 2013.  We typically look for really bright recent college graduates with strong organizational and writing skills, a demonstrated commitment to civil rights issues and strong social justice motivation.  Many, but not all, of our paralegals go on to law school and join the movement.

The position description and instructions for applicants can be found at http://www.relmanlaw.com/docs/Paralegal%20announcement%20-%20June%202011.pdf .  More about the firm is at www.relmanlaw.com<http://www.relmanlaw.com> .  We have posted short films about two of our signature cases:


*        Litigation about municipal denial of water service to an African-American neighborhood in central Ohio for 40+ years: http://www.relmanlaw.com/civil-rights-litigation/cases/zanesville.php (scroll down)



*        Massive resistance to integrative, affordable housing just outside New Orleans:  http://www.relmanlaw.com/civil-rights-litigation/cases/stbernard-parish.php (scroll down).

Our interview process has just begun, but we are still actively soliciting applications.  Please pass the word to anyone who meets our specifications and might be interested.
