Nuevos abogados o licenciados en derecho

Actualmente, el Proyecto de Derechos del Consumidor y Justicia Económica de Public Counsel necesita voluntarios que quieran adquirir experiencia en litigios.

Are you looking for an introduction to litigation while helping BIPOC and low-income clients? We could use your help!

Public Counsel’s Consumer Rights & Economic Justice Project’s mission is to advance racial and economic justice by representing and advocating for individuals who are low-income and their families to improve their financial futures, safeguard intergenerational wealth, address systemic inequalities, and oppose the institutions and companies that take advantage of the communities we serve. We handle matters both large and small, including class action cases involving victims of fraud who have experienced significant financial injury at the hands of unscrupulous individuals or businesses. We co-counsel many cases with outside firms, including some of the most prominent firms in the State, in addition to litigating debt defense cases. We are constantly developing new cases, both individual and impact matters, based in large part on our intake line, which handles hundreds of calls every year.

Contamos con abogados voluntarios para ayudarnos con varios aspectos de nuestros casos. Nuestros abogados voluntarios incluyen a aquellos que están esperando los resultados de la barra, entre los puestos de trabajo, nuevo en Los Ángeles, o en busca de ampliar sus horizontes y entrar en la ley de interés público. Nuestros voluntarios entrevistan a clientes y testigos, analizan casos potenciales, investigan aspectos pertinentes de la ley, redactan memorandos y se dedican a otras tareas relacionadas con el litigio. Les incluimos en nuestras reuniones semanales de revisión de casos y les animamos a que asistan como observadores al tribunal cuando se celebre una vista o a que acudan a una declaración o mediación, si es posible. Trabajando con nuestro equipo de abogados experimentados, adquirirás una amplia experiencia práctica y harás contactos que te ayudarán a progresar en tu carrera.
