The Center for Family Representation Inc. (CFR) is an award-winning, innovative law and policy organization that serves primarily Black and Brown families and youth in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island with an interdisciplinary legal defense model that serves more than 2400 clients every year. CFR was originally founded in 2002 to dramatically change the trajectory of indigent parents being prosecuted by the City's Administration for Children's Services (ACS). Our goal is to defend and protect our clients' rights, reduce the harm of family separation and prevent or minimize the time any child spends in the foster system.

CFR provides interdisciplinary family defense with a model that was unique at our founding and that is now being replicated nationally: we assign every client an attorney and a social work staff member, and teams have the support of parent advocates, who are parents with direct personal experience of having been investigated and prosecuted by ACS. CFR was the first agency in the country to integrate parents with lived experience into legal teams and now has 11 parent advocates working in all four of our family defense locations. CFR's Early Defense Practice represents parents during an ACS investigation (to avoid court involvement where possible). Our SCR Practice assists parents in clearing their names from state maltreatment records.

As an agency committed to securing justice for families, we built the Youth Defense Practice (YDP) to defend youth at risk of family separation through incarceration. YDP uses the same interdisciplinary model to represent youth being prosecuted in Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens in Juvenile Delinquency and Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS) proceedings in Family Court. CFR's Home for Good program provides legal and social work services to CFR clients in immigration, civil legal services and criminal defense matters, to afford clients an efficient and well-coordinated one-stop solution to a range of issues that threaten family stability.

Recognized as experts in our fields, we annually train over 500 practitioners in the city, state and around the country on strategies to promote family preservation and interdisciplinary representation, and we provide community based "Know Your Rights" presentations to parents, youth and service providers. We advocate at the city, state and national level for policies that reduce the harm of family separation, and promote parent engagement and justice for youth and families.

CFR has an immediate opening for a Staff Attorney in its Youth Defense Practice (YDP) in Manhattan.

Under the supervision and guidance of CFR's Youth Defense Supervisors, the Staff Attorney's core responsibilities will be to represent clients charged on juvenile delinquency (JD) matters and PINS petitions in Family Court .

The candidate will receive training on youth and family defense.

The candidate will work collaboratively with legal teams, composed of attorneys, social work staff, investigators, and paralegals (clients' legal teams may also involve staff from CFR's immigration or housing/public benefits units).

The position will be based out of the Manhattan family court.

The candidate should also expect to maintain new and evolving youth defense data in Case Management System and client legal notes; keep files up to date; keep additional data related to deliverables for private funders supporting the Youth Defense Practice, and/or to meet with prospective and current funders; and help to inform and grow CFR's Youth Defense Practice. This person may also participate in community based outreach and presentations for families whose youth are impacted by or are at risk of juvenile justice involvement.

The ideal candidate will enjoy the opportunity to wear multiple hats, learn a lot and enjoy working with teams.

Salary information:

$90,800/year for 3 years experience- $120,100/year for 15 years experience

Eligibility and Qualifications:
