Legal Director
American Humanist Association
Washington, D.C.
Compensation: $85-120k DOE, plus excellent benefits, flexible hours, and generous PTO

To Apply: Fill out the application form here: https://forms.gle/qDeyc5j2zBoEvkxU6

Who You Are: 
You’re a ferocious litigator who’s furious about the rise of the Christian Nationalist right and itching for a good fight. You’ve never met an underdog you didn’t like and the words “malicious compliance” make you smile. The idea of being the Legal Director for a group of secular humanists determined to outsmart and outlast religious fundamentalists at every turn puts fire in your belly. 

You’re at a point in your career where you’re excited to work both on the level of big, strategic ideas - crafting an ambitious impact litigation strategy sounds exciting to you - but not above spending the majority of your time in the weeds of nuts-and-bolts litigation. You’re hungry to build something new and are generally the kind of person who would trade having more support for having more autonomy. 

Does that sound like you? Good. We’ve been waiting. 

Who We Are: 
Humanists believe in people. We believe that people have inherent worth and dignity, without needing to be saved or redeemed. We believe that people can do anything as long as we live in a society where people are free to think freely and pursue rational truth. And we believe the highest good is to help other people live lives of freedom and flourishing. 

Humanists have always moved America. Kristen Bell, Gloria Steinem, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, Steve Wozniak, Joyce Carol Oates, A. Philip Randolph, John Dewey, Margaret Atwood, Abraham Maszlow, Jamie Raskin - these are some of the American visionaries whose humanism led them to envision new frontiers for advancing human worth and dignity.

For over 80 years, the AHA has been the epicenter of the humanist movement. We promote humanism as a community and worldview that “nothing in particular,” “spiritual but not religious,” atheist, and agnostic folks can belong to, believe in, and fight for.  We fight the radical religious right in the courts, Congress, and the streets, organizing our thousands of members and 230+ chapters nationwide to fight for the separation of church and state, make the moral case for progressive public policy, and take direct action to improve their communities. We train hundreds of secular chaplains and celebrants who perform marriages and work in hospitals, college campuses, and prisons. 

The Role: 
You’ll have the opportunity to rebuild the Appignani Humanist Legal Center from the ground up. You’ll inherit a semi-dormant network of potential collaborating attorneys, a large group of (230+!) chapters around the country eager to hear about and support your work, and a long history of litigating for church-state separation all the way to the Supreme Court. But there are relatively few current cases to manage, so you’ll have broad autonomy to rebuild the Legal Center in line with our emerging legal strategy. 

You’ll be litigating to support the rights of America’s largest religious minority - secular people, whether they identify as humanist, atheist, agnostic, or “nothing in particular” - to live freely and openly, without threat of discrimination, and with the expectation of equal treatment by their government. This ideal is under attack from the religious right, and the rules of play are changing rapidly as the conservative-packed federal judiciary hands down new decisions. Success in this role will require clever, nimble, and creative thinking, and the ability to shift strategy on the fly. 

If these challenges excite you, rather than demoralize you, you’re in the right place. 

In your role, you’ll:
Build, in partnership with the Executive Director, a comprehensive multi-year strategy for the Appignani Humanist Legal Center
Conduct complex federal and state court anti-discrimination and civil liberties litigation, including all aspects of discovery, motion practice, briefs, trials, appellate work, and amicus briefs
In partnership with others on the Senior Leadership Team, create multi-pronged strategies using litigation, public education, and legislative and policy advocacy to further the AHA’s policy issues
Supervise employees in the legal department; to begin with, a part-time legal assistant (to be hired).
Build a pipeline of clients, with the help of our Communications + Organizing teams and relationships with partners organizations
Coordinate legal intake with staff and ensure that intake is properly evaluated and processed, presenting selected cases to the Executive Director for evaluation
Secure the services and expand the pool of cooperating attorneys; monitor litigation handled by cooperating attorneys and supply back-up help as needed
Research potential instances of discrimination against humanists, violations of church-state separation, etc, and prepare legal memoranda and demand letters
Support the policy team with legal analysis of legislation impacting church-state separation issues
Design materials and trainings to help humanists know and exercise their legal rights.
If desired, write and speak about AHA’s legal work to the general public, including media interviews, op-eds, etc. It’s also OK if you prefer to stay behind the scenes - then your job will be helping other staff do the same!
Support fundraising for the Appignani Humanist Legal Center by meeting with major donors and writing reports on the Center’s activities.
Serve as in-house general counsel for the AHA and advise the senior team occasionally on legal matters unrelated to the work of the AHLC (e.g., proper separation of c3 and c4/PAC entities)
