Project Coordinator
JOB FUNCTION
The City Bar Justice Center (CBJC) seeks an organized individual who is committed to equal access to justice and brings a proactive, collaborative approach to join our team as a Project Coordinator – a role that is similar to a legal assistant or paralegal. CBJC annually provides high-quality, free civil legal services benefiting over 23,000 New Yorkers who lack the resources to hire private counsel. CBJC also relies on partnerships with our affiliate, the New York City Bar Association, as well as with law firms, corporate legal departments, solo practitioners, law schools, the courts, and other stakeholders. Last year, over 3,300 pro bono attorneys donated services to support clinics and client work drawn from CBJC’s dozen civil legal services projects.
