Attention
Class of 2008- Equal Justice Works Fellowship Applications are
now available!
Fellowship
Sponsor: Ohio
State
Legal Services Association (OSLSA) two year Equal Justice
Works (EJW) funded Fellowship begins September 2008. Law
Students graduating Spring 2008 are encouraged to apply. For
more information about Equal Justice Works Fellowships and the
application process, visit www.equaljusticeworks.org
.
Proposed Project: Large urban hospitals across the
nation and Ohio are partnering with
attorneys to work together to address the health and legal
problems of their shared patients and clients. These
partnerships grew out of recognition that patients’ medical
problems can be caused or aggravated by the patients’ legal
problems; bad housing conditions, wrongful denial of benefits,
and abuse.
This project would be one of the first to
bring the benefits of such partnerships with rural poor. The
Fellow would work with OSLSA’s 9 field offices in Ohio
Appalachia to expand a small medical/legal partnership between
OSLSA and rural healthcare provider in Vinton
County
and to start partnerships with other hospitals and healthcare
providers in our 30 county service area.
This project
would involve working with healthcare providers,
administrators, legal aid staff, and community agencies. In
addition to identifying and developing potential healthcare
partnerships, the Fellow would gather and develop protocols
and materials for educating healthcare providers on how to
identify patients’ legal problems. The Fellow would be trained
in poverty law with OSLSA attorneys, help represent
individuals identified with their legal problems. If the
project is approved by EJW, the Fellow would begin work
September 2008. The Fellow would work out of Lancaster, Newark, New
Philadelphia, Steubenville, or Zanesville office. The
selected applicant would work with the Deputy Director to
develop the project description to submission to EJW by
September 18, 2007.
OSLSA: Legal Aid Program with a
history of addressing individual and systemic legal problems
facing our client population and partnering with the community
groups and organizations to better address problems.
Compensation: $38,500 plus DOE, LRAP, benefit
coverage, generous leave policies. OSLSA/SEOLS provides
excellent on-going training opportunities; New Attorney
Training and bi-monthly new attorney trainings to CLE-approved
one day and multiple day trainings on poverty law and trial
advocacy skills, bin-annual two day program-wide meetings and
