Job description

Position Description

Crime Victims Legal Assistance Project (CVLAP) is seeking a Staff Attorney focused on serving Native American survivors of domestic violence in Northern Michigan with family law matters. The Staff Attorney will be responsible for working with clients—from providing advice to full litigation—with civil cases in both State and Tribal Court. Although the work will be fully remote, the Attorney will serve clients located primarily in Northern Michigan (excluding the Upper Peninsula); applicants residing in Northern Michigan are given preference. The grant‑funded contract position expires October 2026. When fully staffed, the CVLAP Tribal Survivor Project (TSP) team consists of a Supervising Attorney, 2 Staff Attorneys, and a part‑time Legal Assistant. This position is part of a joint project with Uniting Three Fires Against Violence, a statewide Tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalition serving the Tribes located in Michigan. The TSP staff are also part of the larger CVLAP program, which collaborates with civil legal aid attorneys across the state that specialize in providing legal assistance in cases involving domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault and elder abuse. Applicants must reside in the state of Michigan.

Program Description

CVLAP is a statewide program with staff throughout Michigan, in collaboration with Legal Services of Eastern Michigan, Legal Aid of Western Michigan, Legal Services of South Central Michigan, Legal Services of Northern Michigan, Michigan Immigrant Rights Center, and Lakeshore Legal Aid. CVLAP provides outreach and a wide range of legal representation and advocacy to victims of crime, primarily domestic violence and elder abuse survivors under the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) and the Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA).

CVLAP is part of Michigan Statewide Advocacy Services (MSAS), a non‑profit law firm providing free legal services to older adults and people with low income through several statewide programs. MSAS is administered by the Michigan Advocacy Program (MAP), which provides access to the justice system for those who need it most through civil legal aid offices and statewide advocacy programs. MAP’s mission is to advance the safety, independence, and economic stability of those most affected by poverty, racism, and other structurally oppressive systems by increasing access to justice and working for systemic solutions. Visit cvlap.org and miadvocacy.org for more information.

Benefits

This is a full‑time position with a salary starting at $60,000, depending on experience. MAP offers a generous benefits package including life, short‑ and long‑term disability, health, vision, dental and flexible spending accounts. If staff do not require health benefits, they may opt for an annual $1,500 payout in addition to the base salary paid over the course of the year. MAP also has a generous leave policy allowing staff to accrue 3 weeks paid vacation in the first year and 15 paid holidays, as well as a 401(k) retirement plan with an employer match for eligible staff after 6 months of employment. MAP is a qualifying employer for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
