CLS provides free legal </span><span>assistance</span><span> in a broad variety of legal areas, including family law, public benefits, eviction defense, consumer protection, services to survivors of serious crime and human trafficking, and many others.   </span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>CLS has strengthened lives, </span><span>assisted</span><span> families, and supported communities–one person at a time for over 100 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 impact and advocacy. CLS strives to bring about substantive, transformational change in the lives of those we serve.   </span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span><span>We value representation. </span></span><span><span>At CLS, we value and respect our staff's wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. We ensure representation of our client communities in our staff, Board of </span><span>Directors</span><span> and leadership teams. We also envision a fair, </span><span>just,</span><span> trusted, and harm reductionist legal system which emphasizes access to and implementation of true justice for every Coloradan.</span></span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Position Summary:</span></span></span><span><br></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>CLS seeks an experienced </span><span>attorney</span><span> with extensive experience in </span><span>representing</span><span> low</span><span>-income litigants in housing</span><span> </span><span>and</span><span> </span><span>consumer</span><span> </span><span>cases to serve as the staff attorney for the Colorado Access Medical-Legal Partnership (“MLP”). </span></span><span><span>This is a one-year, grant-funded position</span><span> through May 31, 2027</span><span>. </span></span><span><span> </span><span>We</span><span> </span><span>are committed to seeking </span><span>additional</span><span> funding from Colorado Access to continue funding for the position beyond one yea</span><span>r, however employment cannot be guaranteed after May 31, 2027. </span><span>However, w</span><span>e will notify the </span><span>attorney no later than the end of January 2027 if we are able to continue the position</span></span><span><span>. </span></span><span><span>The Northern Colorado Advocacy Director will oversee implementation of the Colorado Access MLP and supervise this position. </span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Colorado Access MLP (</span><span>4</span><span>0</span><span>-</span><span>1</span><span>0</span><span>0</span><span>%) </span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>This position will be the sole and primary attorney for the Colorado Access MLP. Colorado Access MLP cases will take priority. However, it is </span><span>anticipated</span><span> that the Colorado Access MLP caseload will be low at first and increase over time. </span><span>Accordingly</span><span>, internal candidates will make a gradual transition and continue taking cases from and doing work for their curre</span><span>nt team while their Colorado Access caseload builds.</span><span> Eventually, it is </span><span>anticipated</span><span> that the attorney's full caseload will be Colorado Access cases.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span><span>Through the Colorado Access MLP, this position will provide advice, brief services, and full-service representation to Colorado Access members living in Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, and Douglas Counties.

The training will allow Colorado Access staff to quickly </span><span>identify</span><span> possible legal needs that CLS can </span><span>assist</span><span> </span><span>with and</span><span> make seamless referrals to CLS so that eligible patients with housing, consumer, and </span><span>public benefits</span><span> </span><span>needs can receive legal </span><span>assistance</span><span>. This position will work closely with Colorado Access</span><span>,</span><span> the Northern Colorado Advocacy </span><span>D</span><span>irector</span><span>, and the Colorado Access/Greeley
