Public Advocates challenges the systemic causes of poverty and discrimination by promoting civil rights through advocacy, litigation, and partnership with low-income communities, people of color, and immigrants. Historically Public Advocates is best known for high impact class action litigation. Our multi-pronged strategy to promote equity and systemic change includes major civil rights impact litigation from development through trial and appeal, legislative and administrative advocacy, policy advocacy project development, and coalition building with grassroots organizations.

We seek attorneys and law students to assist us with our present work which focuses on education equity, insurance redlining, affordable housing, transportation justice, and community economic development. Some examples of opportunities may include legal research and writing, fact investigation, or monitoring agencies.
