This is a full-time position and is based in Newark, NJ with a hybrid work schedule where we work in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The paralegal will be supervised by the Legal Department Manager.
Organizational Overview
For more than 60 years, the ACLU of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ) has defended liberty and justice guided by the vision of a fair and equitable New Jersey for all. Our mission is to preserve, advance, and extend the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every New Jerseyan by the state and federal constitutions in courts, in the legislature, and in our communities. We are committed to repairing and transforming spaces where constitutional promises have not been delivered.
In every facet of our work, we strive to be anti-racist and are actively committed to advancing racial justice in the institutions of New Jersey, for the people of New Jersey. We aim to center the voices and lived experiences of those who historically have not been fully protected by government systems or laws.
Founded in 1960 and based in Newark, we are a non-partisan organization that operates on several fronts - political, legal, cultural - to bring about systemic change and build a more equitable society.
As part of an organization that uses an integrated, inter-departmental approach to advocacy, the Paralegal will join a 12+ person legal team that engages in litigation and a wide range of advocacy tools to protect and expand civil rights and civil liberties, and that works collaboratively with policy and communications colleagues to maximize the ACLU-NJ's impact.
Responsibilities
The paralegal, with other legal administrative staff members, provides support for a wide range of federal, state, and administrative litigation, including impact litigation, complex class-action litigation, appeals, and amicus briefs.
Responsible for case management, and preparing, formatting, filing, and serving legal documents, assisting with finalizing pleadings and exhibits, including proofreading and cite checking, creating table of authorities, and gathering and preparing materials for depositions, client meetings, and court hearings.
Coordinate all logistics for meetings, hearings, service of process, courtesy copy delivery, and other litigation support.
Maintain and organize electronic case files and legal docket.
Support and manage the administrative logistics of working with cooperating attorneys and out-of-state attorneys, including preparing court admission paperwork and payments.
Engage in factual investigative work and research to support the development of cases or advocacy, including drafting public records requests.
Contribute to a collaborative culture that centers racial justice, inclusion, participation, and collaboration.
Collaborate with colleagues by providing input on and assisting in the implementation of legal program policies, procedures, and systems - such as the case management process; paper and electronic filing systems; and legal docket.
Participate in the development of the legal department's vision, plans, and priorities.
Provide administrative and organizational support as needed, including scheduling meetings and preparing agendas and notes.
The job responsibilities listed are not exhaustive, and the paralegal may be required to perform other duties to support the work of the Legal Department.
Preferred Qualifications & Skills
The ACLU-NJ anticipates hiring a paralegal with at least three years of experience in state or federal courts (preferably NJ State Courts and 3d. Cir. Courts) but will consider all applicants with similar experience.
Excellent writing, editing, and cite-checking skills.
Proven project and time management skills, including a high level of organization, the ability to solve problems and meet deadlines, and excellent attention to detail.
