The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee (ACLU-TN) seeks an attorney to join our legal team to advance our mission through litigation and integrated, nonlitigation advocacy to protect and expand civil liberties and civil rights in Tennessee. This position may be filled at either the Staff Attorney or Senior Staff Attorney level, depending on the selected candidate’s experience, skills, and organizational needs.

We anticipate making one hire from this recruitment.

Reporting to the legal director, the staff attorney or senior staff attorney will contribute to a dynamic docket of cases and advocacy initiatives and will be expected to work collaboratively across the organization, as well as with external partners such as community organizations, advocates, and cooperating attorneys, to advance strategic priorities and achieve meaningful impact. The attorney will use litigation as part of broader organization-wide strategies to achieve systemic reform and policy change.
