· Participating in speaking engagements pertaining to civil rights issues facing the American Muslim community.
· Training and coaching of CAIR LDF staff as requested.
· Attend continuing legal education seminars and keep abreast of changes in the law through reading and other means.
· Travel and weekend hours required as needed.
· And any other duties as required.
