We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. The Brennan Center’s work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from ending mass incarceration to preserving constitutional protections in national security policies. Part think-tank, part advocacy group, part cutting edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them – in Congress and the states, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion.  <br><br>The Brennan Center’s Justice Program aims to secure our nation’s promise of “equal justice for all” by tackling racial disparities and economic injustice, promoting a dignity-centered approach to crime and punishment, and creating a rational, effective, and fair justice system. Its priority focus is to reform the criminal legal system to shrink reliance on mass incarceration and mitigate its pernicious effects.  </span></span><br><br><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Position Overview: </strong></span></span><br><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Justice Program seeks a talented attorney to join a cutting-edge interdisciplinary team working to create a fair and equitable criminal justice system that champions evidence-based reforms to protect both individual rights and public safety. Reporting to a Justice Program Director, the attorney will help us build a research and policy agenda to achieve smarter policing and sentencing policies, more humane prison conditions, and supportive reentry programs. The Counsel will help the justice team build out state advocacy to improve the justice system, with a focus on prison reform, and in assisting the Program in researching and drafting reports, briefs, and other public facing work. The Counsel will also provide legal support to advance the Center’s advocacy efforts at the state, local, and federal levels. Finally, the counsel will provide research and advocacy support to Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime & Incarceration (“LEL”), a project of the Justice Program. LEL is a nonpartisan national coalition of nearly 200 current and former police chiefs, sheriffs, federal and state chief prosecutors, attorneys general, and corrections officials from across the country who are committed to supporting practical, tested policies that reduce unnecessary incarceration, improve fairness, and protect public safety. </span></span><br> </p><p style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Note: </strong><em>This position is based at our headquarters in New York City. Occasional travel to our Washington, D.C. office and to other locations for conferences and meetings will be required.</em></span></span></p><p><br><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Responsibilities:  </strong></span></span></p><ul><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Assist the team to support state legislation across the country to improve the justice system, with a specific focus on improving prisons</span></span></li><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Assist staff members in researching, developing, and co-authoring reports and policy proposals and for a wide variety of audiences – legal, legislative, media, and public </span></span></li><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Help senior staff generate new project ideas by researching and drafting concept papers, funding proposals, and other written work (including articles, opinion pieces, speeches, and organizational materials) </span></span></li><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Conduct research at the direction of mid-level and senior attorneys. </span></span></li><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Manage development and implementation of projects, as assigned </span></span></li><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Take on special projects and other duties as assigned </span></span></li><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Conduct research for and draft white papers, talking points, public statements, articles, and other materials to support the LEL project </span></span></li><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Help staff and manage working group projects focusing on specific timely topics related to law enforcement and justice, including identifying relevant topics and experts </span></span></li><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Monitor legislation, hearings, and other developments in relevant issue areas </span></span></li><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Provide research support for meetings with current or former law enforcement officials, advocacy group leaders as well as committee testimony, Hill briefings and other public events, and high-level meetings  </span></span></li></ul><p><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Qualifications:  </strong></span></span></p><ul><li><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">J.D. required.
