Subject: [diversity-stakeholders] Staff Attorney Positions Open in Pierce County

Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association’s Volunteer Legal Services program is excited to announce two open staff attorney positions in Pierce County.

The VOCA Staff Attorney will provide civil legal assistance to victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, harassment and other crimes, including financial exploitation. Services will include advice and counsel, brief services at follow-up appointments, and extended representation and litigation. The VLS VOCA Staff Attorney will assist clients with protection orders, family law proceedings, as well as address legal issues surrounding collateral impacts of victimization. The VOCA Staff Attorney position will be an essential part of the Integrated Rural Legal Assistance Project in Pierce County, partnering with VOCA-funded staff attorneys located in the Tacoma offices of Northwest Justice Project and Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.  This project seeks to provide legal services primarily (but not exclusively) to victims who have significant barriers accessing legal assistance due to limited English proficiency, immigration status, rural isolation, and other factors that make them particularly vulnerable.

The Puyallup/Urban Indian Staff Attorney will work with staff and volunteers, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and other legal services providers to develop civil legal service programs that help meet the specific and unique needs of Puyallup Tribal Members, American Indians, Alaska Natives and First Nations People in our community.  This will include development of specialized legal clinics, know your rights presentations, and other formal and informal opportunities for this population to access legal advice and/or representation, as well as referrals to other VLS clinics and programs and other organizations able to provide appropriate additional legal and holistic client services.
