Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than a million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability or national origin. The ACLU’s Voting Rights Project seeks applicants for a full-time Paralegal position. The position will be in the ACLU’s New York City office. OVERVIEW The ACLU has a long history of defending the right to vote, which it believes is the backbone of democracy. The ACLU played a critical role in convincing the U.S. Supreme Court to establish the “one person, one vote” rule and in strengthening the Voting Rights Act in 1982. Through persistent litigation, voter empowerment, and fighting efforts to restrict the vote in state legislatures, the ACLU helped make it possible for minority voters all over America to participate in the electoral process, and through that, to change the face of government. Today, the ACLU’s voting rights work includes litigation and working for strong federal and state legislation and policy. The work is carried out through the Legal and Advocacy Departments of the national ACLU, its Washington Legislative Office, and by the ACLU’s 53 affiliate offices around the country. The voting rights work is part of the ACLU’s Center for Equality which works to uphold the federal constitution’s promise that all Americans will receive equal protection of the law. The Equality Center also includes the ACLU’s work on racial justice, immigrants’ rights and disability. The ACLU is the only civil rights organization committed to defending the freedom of all Americans to vote, with legislative and litigation capacity in all 50 states. Three principles guide our work: (1) all Americans should be able to vote; (2) voting should be free and easy; and (3) all people should count equally in the political process. In recent years, many states have actively undertaken new efforts to suppress voting, by erecting barriers to registration and the ballot with more frequency than we have seen in decades. Our focus is currently on combating this nationwide wave of voter suppression legislation.

Message-ID: The House: A Smart Creature Enabling Community Inclusion, Visibility, and Integration Please join Gary C. Norman, Esq. L.L.M. State Civil Rights Commissioner as well as other public policy leaders in a non-partisan town hall dialogue on October 27, 2016, at the University of Baltimore School Of Law's Center on Medicine and Law from 11 A.M. to 2 P.M. The Fair Housing Amendments Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act; and, other related legal protections provide broad civil rights to the ever-increasing number of Americans who have a disability as well as those Americans who are perceived as having a disability. Because of these panoply, progress has culturally and legally occurred in removing barriers to full participation of people with disabilities in society, but many hurdles still remain, including, the power of leveraging the intersection of housing and innovative housing policy; health technology; and technological innovation for more visibility and inclusion. Join us at the law school for an exciting series of presentations reflecting on ways housing, health technology, and technical innovation may be leveraged for fulfilling the promise of community inclusion and integration. This town hall dialogue will occur in a Conversations for Change format with a report to be generated from audience input. Confirmed Speakers * James McCarthy, Esq.

Treatment of disabled suspects by the police - what procedures are in place, requirements of the ADA (I seem to remember a case from California which was being heard by or seeking leave before the US Supreme Court recently) and what happens in practice e.g. are those procedures actually followed, what is the reaction of Courts when they are not? 2.

Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach.

The Reproductive Freedom Project (RFP) of the ACLU’s National office in New York City seeks applicants for a full-time Legal Administrative Assistant. OVERVIEW The ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project’s mission is to secure a world that respects and supports everyone’s right to form intimate relationships and to decide whether and when to have a child. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, the Project strives to ensure that the freedoms and opportunities enjoyed by some become the freedoms and opportunities enjoyed by all. The ACLU is particularly committed to ensuring that individuals’ reproductive rights are not compromised because of their race, youth, or economic status, and believes that reproductive rights work must be informed by broader racial and social justice considerations. For more than three decades, the ACLU has participated in nearly every reproductive rights case before the Supreme Court and in significant cases in federal and state courts too numerous to count, including challenges to abortion bans; TRAP laws; bans on insurance coverage of abortion; and mandatory ultrasound and forced delay laws. The ACLU is also a leader in the fight to prevent religion from being used as an excuse to deny reproductive health services and to discriminate against women and LGBT people. The Reproductive Freedom Project is unique among reproductive rights organizations in that it works with the ACLU’s nationwide network of affiliates as well as other attorneys in the organization who specialize in other civil liberties areas, including free speech, racial justice, and LGBT rights. In addition, the Reproductive Freedom Project is part of the ACLU’s Center for Liberty, which is dedicated to the principle that we are all entitled to determine the course of our lives based on who we are and what we believe free from unreasonable government constraint and baseless stereotypes. The Center for Liberty encompasses the ACLU’s work on reproductive rights, women’s rights, LGBT issues, and freedom of religion and belief. The Legal Administrative Assistant will work with three or more professional staff from the Reproductive Freedom Project. S/he or he will attend regular staff meetings and will have the opportunity to learn about current threats to reproductive freedom interests, including reproductive rights, and the legal landscape for challenging them.

As I'm sure you know there are differences in what a paralegal does in Canada as compared to the U.S. It is my understanding that each province determines the scope under which a paralegal can practice in Canada. I would recommend that you contact a local paralegal association in your area or one specifically for your province. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Article: Derek Manners ’16 wins CLEA’s Outstanding Clinical Student Award Derek Manners ’16 wins CLEA’s Outstanding Clinical Student Award Derek Manners J.D. ’16 is the winner of the Outstanding Clinical Student Award from the Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA) of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS). The award is presented annually to one student from each law school for his/her outstanding clinical coursework and contributions to the clinical community. Manners was nominated for his work by Maine’s former Attorney General and Lecturer on Law James E. Tierney who taught him in the Government Lawyer: State Attorney General Clinic, an externship clinic offering students the opportunity to do legal work at various AG offices around the country. Over the course of his three years at Harvard Law, Manners has logged over a thousand pro bono hours in service to the community and excelled as a clinical law student. He began his fall 2014 semester with a placement at the State Attorney General Office in Connecticut and continued his work through the winter and spring semesters in 2015 as well as the spring semester in 2016. During this time, he worked on a subprime mortgage case<>. His supervisor reported that Derek played a “critical role” in understanding and organizing vast amounts of data needed to bring a case against a large investment bank. During that time, he also delved into the details of the case<> and participated in national conference calls. “Derek interned with my office for multiple semesters and, in short order, proved himself to be extremely capable and hard-working,” said Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen ’80. “He assisted with a large and important investigation, and his contributions were integral to our efforts. He developed very strong and positive relationships with my investigative team, and quickly grasped the legal issues at play in the case. I am grateful to him for his service and he is deeply deserving of this recognition from the CLEA.” Manners’s direct supervisor in Hartford said: “Derek has three strengths you do not often see in a student: great intelligence, humility and an insatiable work ethic.” Manners, who is legally blind, traveled to his clinical placement every week by taking a bus from Boston to Hartford and staying overnight in a hotel. “While I have never had a student willing to make such a weekly trip to fulfill a clinic assignment,” said Tierney, “what impressed me with Derek’s work was the maturity of judgment. Although still a student, he truly served the cause of justice.” “Derek impressed us all with his selfless devotion to his clinical work,” said Lisa Dealy, Assistant Dean of Clinical and Pro Bono Programs. “Managing a busy clinical placement in another state while balancing other law school courses and activities is impressive – to do so for three semesters is extraordinary.” On news of receiving this award, Manners stated <"I thoroughly enjoyed my clinical experiences. It was by far the most enjoyable part of my law school career. The work we did was important and allowed me to develop my skills as an attorney. I'm truly honored to have that effort recognized."> In the winter of 2015, he also completed an independent clinical placement with the National Federation for the Blind (NFB) in Baltimore, during which he worked on a self-advocacy toolkit designed to help students having difficulty with .
