Subject: [DRBA] NCLEJ seeks experienced disability rights attorney - corrected email

In a rush to get this out yesterday we sent out an announcement with an 
email address, instead of a link to our website.  Apologies.

The National Center for Law and Economic Justice (NCLEJ) seeks a dynamic 
and experienced attorney to direct its path-breaking disability rights 
work, which focuses on using disability rights laws to ensure meaningful 
and equal access to government programs serving low income individuals 
with disabilities.  The position involves a mix of class action 
litigation, policy advocacy, training advocates, and other activities, 
and involves work in New York City, New York State, in other states, and 
at the national level. Applicants should have at least six years of 
relevant experience. The position will remain open until filled.  A job 
announcement providing more detail about the position, and the 
application process, can be found at 
http://nclej.org/DisabilityRightsAttorney.php. An email address to 
accept applications will be operational on Tuesday September 24, 2013.

The reason this position has become available is that, after 13 years at 
NCLEJ, I have accepted a position in the Office of General Counsel at 
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services In Washington, D.C.  
While I am very excited about the opportunity this offers to work on 
some of the same issues from a different vantage point, I will miss 
working directly with other advocates, including many of you on the 
listserv.  I will also miss the tremendous flexibility that I have had 
here at NCLEJ to work on a wide range of important and interesting 
issues.  This is a great position, so if you have the relevant 
experience I hope you will consider applying for it; if not, I hope you 
will pass this along to others who do.
