Position Opening

The Feinstein Institute for Legal Service at Roger Williams University School of Law is looking to fill the position of Director of the Pro Bono Collaborative Pilot Project, a grant-funded project which begins in January 2006. The Project partners attorneys from three Providence law firms with law students from RWU and community agencies to deliver pro bono legal assistance primarily in the areas of housing, educational advocacy, and immigration, although projects may be developed in other substantive areas as well. The Director will oversee all aspects of the project, including coordination of partnerships, trainings for attorneys and law students, evaluation, and fundraising. The position is 60% time. The Director will have the support of an administrative assistant and will be housed at the Feinstein Institute. More detailed information is contained in the attached job description. We are looking for an energetic person with strong organizational and communication skills, and with a commitment to public interest law and public service. Preferably, this person will also have pro bono experience in a law firm setting. We plan to hire for this position by the end of the year. Please share this posting with anyone who might be interested and feel free to give either of us a call if you have any questions. Interested candidates may email resumes to Laurie Barron at lbarron@rwu.edu and also to Human_Resources@rwu.edu.
