The Advocacy Center for Persons with Disabilities, Inc., is the official protection and advocacy system designated by executive order of the governor of the State of Florida, and has authority and responsibility under eight federal programs. We are a statewide, not-for-profit corporation, with offices in Tallahassee, Tampa, and Hollywood, Florida. The mission of the Advocacy Center is to advance the quality of life dignity, equality, self-determination, and freedom of choice of persons with disabilities through collaboration, education, advocacy, as well as legal and legislative strategies.
We currently have an opening for a Senior Attorney in our Tallahassee office.
The Senior Attorney is responsible for representation in all Florida state and federal courts as well as in administrative proceedings. Duties would include handling a substantial caseload through all stages of litigation, including case evaluation, legal research, preparing pleadings and briefs, conducting discovery, motion practice and presentation of a case through evidentiary hearings, mediation, trial or appeals. Knowledge of rule promulgation, legislative bill analysis, public benefits, and state and federal laws relating to civil rights and other related public interest law, is preferred. The senior attorney functions as part of the Advocacy Center’s legal team and routinely assists or mentors other staff attorneys, and works cooperatively with advocates and community partners. Must be a member in good standing of the Florida Bar and have significant current experience in court practice and procedure.
