Position: Maryland Center for Legal Assistance announces the availability of two staff attorney positions, to work at each of the six locations of the Maryland Courts Self-Help Center and District Court Self-Help Centers in Annapolis, Baltimore City, Frederick, Glen Burnie, Upper Marlboro, and Salisbury, Maryland. This position was specifically designed to help each Self-Help Center maintain capacity. Although based in the Maryland Courts Self-Help Center in Annapolis, the staff attorneys will “float” between offices to fill in for absences created by scheduled attorney leave. When possible, these attorneys will also fill in for staff in the event of unanticipated staff absences.
The attorneys will primarily provide legal assistance to self-represented litigants in connection with civil cases before the Circuit and District Courts of Maryland, including Landlord and Tenant Matters, Family Law Matters (divorce, custody, child support, and guardianship), Civil Claims, Expungement and Shielding of Records, Consumer Matters; Return of Property; Domestic Violence/Peace Orders; and Foreclosure. Legal services to self-represented litigants will occur via walk-in assistance, phone calls, and live chat assistance, or as requested by the Court.
