Federal Defenders of New York, Inc. (FDNY) has an opening for a paralegal position in our Brooklyn office (EDNY). This job is an extraordinary opportunity to gain substantive exposure to criminal law and direct service work. Paralegals are typically hired for a term of two years, but this may be extended depending on the needs of the office. This is a Midd-friendly employer!
FDNY is a nonprofit organization providing criminal defense services to indigent persons charged with federal crimes throughout New York City, Long Island, and several counties north of New York City. We are not a government agency and our employees are not government employees. Our mission is straightforward: although we provide our services free of cost, our clients should receive the finest legal representation available at any price. We are committed to equal justice and fight vigorously for those accused of crimes. A large part of our caseload involves immigration-related offenses, drugs, fraud, bank robbery, firearms, and internet-related crimes.
We value diversity and believe better legal representation occurs when members of the defense team have diverse backgrounds and experience. For more information about our office generally, please visit our website at www.federaldefendersny.org. Or the job posting here
