The Justice & Diversity Center of The Bar Association of San Francisco (JDC) has an exciting opportunity for a part-time Federal Pro Bono Project Coordinator to be part of the team! About JDC JDC is a non-profit organization which provides free legal services through its staff and volunteers to low-income Bay Area residents. Each year more than 1,600 volunteer attorneys, legal assistants, and law students work with JDC staff to serve nearly 7,500 indigent clients. JDC's holistic advocacy approach seeks to address the social service and legal needs of clients. About the Job The Federal Pro Bono Project Coordinator will work with JDC's Federal Pro Bono Project, reporting to and working with the Supervising Attorney and Senior Staff Attorney. The Federal Pro Bono Project assists self-represented litigants in two ways: (1) staff attorneys at Legal Help Centers in the San Francisco and Oakland federal courthouses provide legal advice and guidance on federal civil cases; and (2) the Project matches litigants with volunteer attorneys to represent them in their cases. This is a part-time position working 15 hours per week. Working hours are flexible but must be performed during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. The schedule should remain reasonably consistent from week to week. The position is fully remote, but office space is available at JDC's downtown location should the successful candidate prefer to work some or all of their hours in a more social setting. As the first point of contact for litigants communicating with the Project, the Coordinator is a critical part of the Project team. The Coordinator's primary responsibilities are to conduct intakes and screening by phone and email, and to schedule appointments with the Project attorneys when appropriate. The Coordinator uses strong communication and organizational skills to keep the Project's Legal Help Center legal advice work on track and ensure that litigants eligible for assistance are scheduled in a timely manner. The Coordinator also assists with outreach, database upkeep, development of resources, and improvement of best practices. The Coordinator works at a fast pace using multiple computer applications, to schedule clients, and communicate with the Project attorneys. Command of Microsoft Office applications is essential for success in the position. This position is not eligible for benefits and is not an attorney position.
