The posting

For over 50 years, Bet Tzedek Legal Services has provided high-quality, free legal services to Los Angeles’ most vulnerable residents. In that tradition, Bet Tzedek is seeking an attorney to help staff an exciting partnership to provide comprehensive, trauma informed, wrap-around legal services designed to remove barriers to safe, stable housing for housed and unhoused people.

The law fellowship will be a two-year program, with the opportunity for eligible fellows to apply for open attorney positions towards the end of the fellowship. The salary extended is dependent on the candidate’s bar admittance status at the time an offer of employment is provided.

This position is eligible for Bet Tzedek Legal Services’ hybrid/remote workplace designation. While the primary workplace is Bet Tzedek’s offices, at the discretion of the immediate supervisor, the employee may be permitted to work remotely or may be required to work in other locations depending on workload/business obligations. Candidates must be located in the Southern California region and able to commute if needed.

· Participate in in-person know-your-rights presentations and outreach events;

· Attend in-person monthly clinics to provide legal services to unhoused and unstably housed individuals; and

· Other assignments as deemed appropriate.

QUALIFICATIONS:

· Law School graduate (required);

· Ability to work in a fast paced, high-volume environment (required);

· Non-profit legal services experience (strongly preferred);

· Ease with oral and written communication (strongly preferred);

· Experience in fair housing or landlord-tenant law (strongly preferred);

· Demonstrate an understanding and commitment to Bet Tzedek’s mission of equal justice for all and Bet Tzedek’s core values of leadership, community-based advocacy, and innovation (required); and

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
