The Bronx Defenders was founded on a simple premise – that our job is to reimagine what a public defender office can, and should do, for the people we represent.

As public defenders, we know that the systems we fight are deeply rooted in racism, surveillance, and control. That’s why our work extends beyond the courtroom. We engage in community organizing, legislative advocacy, and proactive litigation, working with the people we represent to fight for structural change.

Since opening our doors in 1997, we have grown into an office serving nearly 20,000 Bronx residents each year. Every day, we confront and challenge the oppressive legal systems that criminalize poverty, separate families, and systematically target Black, Latine, immigrant, and low-income New Yorkers.

Overview  

The Bronx Defenders (BxD) is an innovative, progressive public defense office in the South Bronx. We are seeking an experienced attorney dedicated to the representation of parents in family regulation proceedings to fill a position as a Disability Justice Attorney in our Family Defense Practice.  

Founded in 1997, BxD is a public defender nonprofit that has developed a nationally recognized model of representation called holistic defense, which provides people with teams of lawyers, social workers, and advocates to defend them zealously in court and address the underlying drivers and enmeshed penalties of legal system involvement. 

Our office now has more than 400 staff members who defend nearly 20,000 New Yorkers facing incarceration, family separation, eviction, and deportation (among other devastating consequences) in criminal, family, civil, and immigration proceedings each year. 

We continue reimagining the role of public defense even further, using community organizing and engagement, legislative advocacy, and impact litigation to partner with the communities we represent to bring about long-lasting systemic change. We also share our model and lessons learned on how to move to a holistic model of representation with current and future public defenders throughout the country.

• In coordination with the rest of the team, develop raps, campaign materials, and database and tracking systems for strategic campaigns. 
• Identify professional and personal growth goals and trainings, fellowships, staff coaching, etc. for staff and member organizers 
• In partnership with the Higher Ed Policy Director, the Campaign Director will identify research, policy development, advocacy, and evaluation needs
