This position will coordinate and manage all aspects of its litigation program. The office is located in Salt Lake City, Utah. The ACLU of Utah is a private, non-profit organization that promotes and defends civil liberties principles in Utah through advocacy, litigation, public education and lobbying. The Legal Director will enhance the ability of the ACLU of Utah to bring about systemic change through impact-driven litigation, that builds upon a network of highly qualified volunteer attorneys. The ACLU of Utah wants to build a more robust and strategic legal docket. The Legal Director will work in a wide range of civil liberties areas, including the current priority areas of racial justice, religious liberties, privacy and technology, immigrant rights and participatory democracy. Other areas of advocacy include student rights, freedom of speech, gay and lesbian rights, criminal justice and police accountability. Job duties include non-litigation advocacy of community outreach, coalition building, writing and publishing reports, planning and participating in public meetings, and media interviews. This is a remarkable opportunity for a visionary attorney to build on the success of the premier civil liberties and civil rights organization in Utah. http://www.utahbar.org/bars/umba/umblog/2009/10/legal_director_aclu_of_utah.html http://www.utahbar.org/bars/umba/umblog/2009/10/legal_director_aclu_of_utah.html Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:16:46 -0700

The published studies from this research reported on the diversity dynamics in law firms with a specific focus on the often overlooked perspectives of women of color. More information on the two publications from the first phase of this initiative, Visible Invisibility and Visibly Successful, can be found on the Commission on Women’s website at www.abanet.org/women/woc/wocinitiative.html. The second phase of this research initiative will build on the lessons learned from the first phase and study the experiences of lawyers in the government sector. Specifically, the initiative will delve into how male and female lawyers of different races in the United States Department of Justice and all of its various components, including all of the United States Attorneys offices, experience and navigate their careers. We are seeking current and former attorneys with the U.S. Department of Justice and all of its components, including all U.S. Attorneys offices, who are interested in participating in this important study to register your interest through a confidential database. If you are currently employed or have been employed as an attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice at any point since January 1, 1994, we invite you to click on the link below to register your interest in receiving the survey. Your registration and all of your information will be held in absolute confidentiality by The Athens Group, an independent firm conducting the research study on behalf of the ABA Commission on Women. No one except the research team at The Athens Group will have access to the registration database. Registration will only take a couple of minutes of your time, and we encourage you to register as soon as possible by clicking on the link below: ABA Study on Diversity in the U.S. Department of Justice – Survey Registration Please forward this email along in its entirety to anyone who you think would qualify for this study.
