The Housing Law Project for Seniors and the Foreclosure Prevention Project seek two full-time attorneys to represent senior citizens and other homeowners in Chicago and in Suburban Cook County who are faced with the loss of their homes because they have been victimized by unscrupulous lenders and contractors, or because of their inability to live independently without additional supportive services. The attorneys will maintain a full caseload of such cases and participate in litigation in state and federal court. In addition, the attorneys will assist in training community-based organizations about ongoing risks to senior and other homeowners and potential legal remedies. The attorneys will also work with pro bono attorneys to represent clients on these cases. Previous work experience in housing and consumer law, including foreclosure, is desired.
Salary depends on experience.
Generous fringe benefits. Interested applicants should apply by September 25, 2000. Position open until filled.
