Full Job Description

Description:

Maryland Center for Legal Assistance (MCLA) expands access to justice by providing free, compassionate, innovative, and high-quality legal services. Through comprehensive legal advice, education, and collaboration with community partners, we empower all people, regardless of means or background, to navigate the civil legal system with confidence. MCLA, through a contract with the Maryland Judiciary, operates Court Help Centers throughout Maryland to provide legal advice to civil litigants in person and via phone, chat, email, and videoconference. The Help Centers deal with a wide range of civil legal matters, including landlord-tenant, consumer matters such as debt collection and credit card cases, child support, and criminal record expungements to remove barriers to obtaining housing, employment, and child custody.

Provide brief legal advice and information to self-represented litigants in connection with civil legal issues, including Landlord and Tenant Matters, Civil Claims, Expungement and Shielding of Records, Consumer Matters, Return of Property, Domestic Violence/Peace Orders, Family Law, and Foreclosure.
Assist self-represented litigants in drafting their pleadings and motions, preparing for trial, completing court forms, and understanding court documents and the law.
Provide referrals to appropriate legal service organizations, agencies, and lawyer referral services wherever appropriate.
Local travel as needed between our various offices.
Perform other duties as assigned within the scope of the position's essential functions.

MCLA offers a generous benefits package, including health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a 5% employer contribution, life insurance, and approximately 14 paid holidays. Employees receive paid time off, 10 sick days, 20 days of parental leave, bereavement leave, and personal leave.
