    Descripción

    The Gender Equality Law Center ("GELC") is a not for profit law firm whose mission is to advocate for laws and policies that will breakdown barriers to equal opportunities based on gender-based discrimination, including on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/ gender expression. GELC represents primarily low wage individuals in gender discrimination cases, with a concentration in workplace and school place matters, both before administrative agencies and in court. Because gender-based discrimination does not happen in a silo, most of GELC's cases involve the intersection of gender discrimination with bias and prejudice on the basis of race, national origin, disability and/or immigration status, to name a few.

    GELC's three main areas of focus include: (1) pregnancy and caregiver rights; (2) sexual harassment and violence prevention; and (3) LGBTQIA rights.

    GELC is seeking a full time staff attorney with three or more years of legal experience to join our team. This is primarily a litigation position, although there is some non-litigation advocacy work involved.

    Responsibilities of the successful candidate include:

    1. Handling intake from our various referral sources;
    2. Conducting investigations of potential cases;
    3. Representing clients before administrative agencies in New York and in federal and state court;
    4. Supervising one or more law students and/or interns;
    5. Participating in a variety of state and national coalitions working to advance laws and policies to combat gender-based discrimination primarily in work and school settings.
    6. Conducting Know Your Rights trainings.
