Department Bio
NALP is an association of over 2,500 legal professionals who advise law students, lawyers, law offices, and law schools in North America and beyond. What brings NALP members together is a common belief in three fundamental things. First, all law students and lawyers should benefit from a fair and ethical hiring process. Second, law students and lawyers are more successful when supported by professional development. Third, adverse and inclusive legal profession best serves clients and our communities. NALP believes in fairness, facts, and the power of a diverse community. PSJD.org is an online public interest job database and is an initiative of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP).
Position Specific Summary
PSJD.org is an online public interest job database for law students and lawyers seeking internships, fellowships, or permanent positions. PSJD is an initiative of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP). Many of the job announcements that find their way onto PSJD are placed there by PSJD's Project Assistant (PA) team. The PA team's primary task is to update and maintain database content on PSJD.org-mostly its job announcements, but also PSJD's employer directory and resource center. The team reports directly to NALP's Director of Public Service Initiatives and NALP's Public Service Coordinator. This is an opportunity for undergraduate students with an interest in law, public interest, government, or non-profit work to become familiar with the opportunities these sectors provide for legal employment and the qualities these sectors look for in employees. Working under the guidance of the Public Service Coordinator, PAs play an integral role in the support and maintenance of PSJD.
RESPONSIBIILITIES
Post, edit, and delete job postings on our database; Verify and update information currently in the PSJD database; Use PSJD's content management system and Google Drive to track progress and record updates; Join bi-weekly video calls with the Coordinator to discuss performance and identify areas of improvement for the PA and the database; and Perform other tasks as assigned.
HOURS
PAs are expected to work up to 10 hours per week. PAs will provide a schedule of the hours and days they are available for work, but hours are flexible to accommodate academic obligations and extracurricular schedules.
REMOTE WORK
PAs will be asked to work remotely, but should be available to report to NALP's office in downtown DC if needed. While working remotely, PAs will be asked to work using their own devices. This position does require the PA to have regular access to a personal computer or laptop and stable internet connect as well as comfort working with Google Chrome, Google Apps, and Zoom. Communication with the Public Service Coordinator, Director, and PA team members will happen largely in Zoom through chat and videoconferencing.
The Coordinator and Director will make reasonable efforts to troubleshoot equipment and connectivity issues with the PA, but ultimately the PA is responsible for providing the equipment and connectivity necessary to adequately perform their job.
