Staff Attorney – Disproportionality Legal Training Unit
OPD seeks an attorney who has proven litigation and trial experience developing effective equity-based legal arguments to address systemic racial and economic disproportionality in the legal system. This attorney will understand how race, gender, national origin, disability, and class intersect to create disparities for individuals and families who are accused of crimes or otherwise face state intervention into their lives.
The successful candidate will report directly to the Disproportionality Attorney Legal Training Coordinator, work closely with OPD leadership, OPD managing attorneys, and external partners to develop and implement specialized legal training to help public defense attorneys throughout the state identify and successfully argue disproportionality issues in trial and appellate courts.
