Staff Attorney-Criminal Defense Practice (Lateral)

Overview

Still She Rises, Inc. (SSR) provides free legal representation to pregnant women, women with children, or women who are child caregivers and facing legal matters in the criminal, child welfare, or economic justice space. Still She Rises seeks to employ highly motivated individuals with a commitment to indigent defense. Founded in North Tulsa, Still She Rises offers client-centered, innovative, and holistic legal representation. We honor the dignity of the women we serve by championing our clients’ individual goals while also targeting systemic issues impacting the larger community.

Responsibilities

Criminal Defense Attorneys zealously advocate for individuals charged with misdemeanor and felony offenses in the Tulsa Criminal Courts. They appear in various proceedings including but not limited to arraignments, hearings and trials in criminal courts. Criminal Defense Attorneys provide comprehensive representation in collaboration with attorneys and advocates in other practice areas to avoid or mitigate any enmeshed consequences that may arise out of our clients’ contact with the criminal court system. To that end, Criminal Defense Attorneys must consistently be prepared to litigate and confidently engage in skillful negotiations with judges, prosecutors, and other actors within the systems our clients navigate. Though primarily appearing in criminal courts, Criminal Defense Attorneys have the opportunity to co-counsel cases in other venues (ie. Juvenile Court, Civil Court, etc.) as necessary to provide the most effective client-focused representation.

Qualifications

To be eligible, applicants must have:

At least 3 years of experience in the field of criminal defense or a related field
J.D. from an American Bar Association accredited law school
Membership in good standing to the Oklahoma bar or eligibility for admission to the Oklahoma Bar

Applicants must demonstrate:

A commitment to defending indigent individuals in the north Tulsa community charged with criminal offenses
Ability to litigate and confidently engage in skillful negotiations with judges, prosecutors, and other actors within the systems our clients navigate
Excellent research, writing and courtroom advocacy skills
Ability and desire to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams
A commitment to defending indigent individuals in the North Tulsa community throughout at all stages of juvenile abuse, neglect, and dependency proceedings
Experience and interest in working in and with racially and socioeconomically oppressed communities
Ability to think critically and quickly on their feet

Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Applicants, if hired, must promptly sit for the Oklahoma State Bar Examination or submit the appropriate materials necessary for waiver.

Compensation: $80,000 annually medical, dental, vision, life, FSA, and 401K with 3% employer contribution
