    Description
    The Position


    The National Women's Law Center seeks a Senior Counsel to work with the Director of Nominations and Cross-Cutting Policies to support the Center's work around judicial nominations and democracy policy work.

    Using a variety of legal and advocacy strategies, the Senior Counsel will focus on advancing judicial integrity, executive and judicial nominations, and democracy from a gender justice perspective.

    This is a full-time, exempt position of 37.5 hours per week.

    The Organization


    The National Women's Law Center fights for gender justice-in the courts, in public policy, and in our society-working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls.


    We use the law in all its forms to change culture and drive solutions to the gender inequity that shapes our society and to break down the barriers that harm all of us-especially women of color, LGBTQ people, and low-income women and families.


    For over 50 years, we have been on the leading edge of every major legal and policy victory for women.
