Position Responsibilities :
Cardozo’s Civil Rights Clinic was established over ten years ago as an intensive full-year live client in-house clinic that operates at the intersection of civil rights and the criminal legal system.
The Co-Director would work collaboratively with the current clinic director to supervise students in a variety of cases aimed to address the harms of mass incarceration and the criminal legal system through civil litigation and advocacy.
The current docket of the clinic focuses on cases involving conditions of confinement in local, state and federal prisons and jails as well as police and other law enforcement misconduct.
The clinic also brings freedom of information lawsuits aimed to shed light on the harms of mass incarceration and compassionate release cases aimed at securing release for incarcerated people.
Cardozo is looking to expand the size of the clinic and the scope of its docket beyond the current work of the clinic. The Co-Director would also co-teach the twice weekly seminar.
Cardozo’s Civil Litigation Clinic is an in-house, full-year, live client clinic in which students represent low-income individuals in a variety of civil matters, chosen for their potential impact and pedagogical value.
The current clinic docket focuses on advancing the rights of persons with disabilities and older adults through consumer protection, fair housing, disability discrimination in employment, and public benefits matters.
The clinic also works on restoring the rights of persons under guardianship and elder parole cases. The Co-Director would join the current co-director and collaboratively shape the clinic’s docket and future areas of emphasis, supervise students, and co-teach a weekly seminar.
The weekly seminar introduces students to all the major lawyering skills involved in civil litigation as well as some of the substantive laws that arise in the clinic’s practice.
The Civil Litigation clinic is Cardozo’s longest operating civil clinic.
