    Salary Range: $66,422 - $108,011 (commensurate with experience)

    ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW:

    Colorado Legal Services (CLS) is Colorado’s statewide nonprofit legal aid program, with thirteen offices

    providing civil legal assistance to low-income Coloradans throughout the state. CLS provides free legal

    assistance in a broad variety of legal areas including family law, eviction defense, consumer protection,

    services to survivors of serious crime and human trafficking, and many others.

    CLS has strengthened lives, assisted families, and supported communities - one person at a time for over
    90 years. We are committed to providing high-quality, free legal advice and representation to eligible
    individuals throughout Colorado. We have a long history of successful high impact and advocacy. CLS
    strives to bring about substantive, transformational change in the lives of those we serve.

    POSITION SUMMARY:

    The Migrant Farm Worker Division is a specialized statewide program of CLS that litigates cases in federal

    and state courts and provides administrative advocacy for low-wage farm workers across Colorado on a

    wide range of employment-related problems such as unpaid wages, sexual harassment, human

    trafficking, immigration, and civil rights violations. Due to the barriers that have historically interfered

    with farm workers’ access to legal services, the MFWD employs a robust outreach and community

    education program, engaging directly with farm workers and community-based organizations that serve

    farm workers throughout Colorado.

    The Staff Attorney works in collaboration with the rest of the MFWD team to serve the legal needs of low-

    wage seasonal and migrant farm workers throughout Colorado and to implement advocacy strategies

    that have a broad impact and achieve long term change for our client communities. While primarily

    focused on employment law, the MFWD sets priorities according to client need. The Staff Attorney will

    handle a full caseload and will conduct client counseling and representation, outreach and education,

    public education and collaboration with legal and community partners.


    ESSENTIAL DUTIES:

    • Provide professional and high-quality direct legal services to eligible migrant and seasonal farm workers

    focused on resolution of complex civil legal issues related to their employment, in federal and state court

    as well as administrative proceedings.

    • Maintain a manageable client caseload proportionate to other responsibilities.
    • Engage in federal and state litigation, and administrative advocacy on behalf of MFWD clients.

    • Willingness to work irregular hours on occasion to meet the needs of clients.
    • Demonstrated commitment to social justice, as well as a desire to disrupt existing systems of oppression.
    • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment; manage a litigation caseload and meet deadlines; and
