California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc. offers legal services that defend the rights of the rural poor and change the unjust systems that oppress them. Our advocates believe that rural communities can thrive and that the justice system can be worked to the advantage of people who reject poverty and discrimination. The work we advance spans an impressive gamut of venues and stands on a bold legacy of success and a vision for the prosperity of our clients.

The CEI Managing Attorney should have a demonstrated interest in community lawyering and skills to lead and develop creative CEI teams in the area.
The CEI program covers a wide array of legal areas ranging from access to services such as water and broadband to the inequitable distribution of resources and siting of hazardous land uses. CEI's client communities are Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities (DUCs) that suffer the consequences of historic underinvestment and discriminatory policies. They bear the burden of unjust and inequitable conditions and decisions.

Strategic Advocacy
Take on statewide impact advocacy, including group litigation and permissible legislative advocacy.
Assist CEI teams to develop community leadership and support community residents' capacity to participate in public decision-making.
Work with CEI teams to develop and implement community-specific strategies in client communities.
Coordinate advocacy in substantive areas through collaboration and co-counseling with pro bono partner organizations, agencies, communities, and advocacy groups.
Raise awareness of successes and challenges facing DUCs through media, presentations, and participation in issue- and community-based coalitions.
Organizational Responsibilities
Develop specialized knowledge in a CEI priority area of environmental justice community leadership development and act as a resource for CRLA staff.
