Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada Hiring Attorneys and Legal Professionals

Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada (LACSN) is recruiting for several attorney and legal support roles to serve low-income and vulnerable populations in Southern Nevada, according to the organization. The recruitment drive marks the first time the organization is offering part-time positions to attract a wider range of legal professionals.

Why is LACSN changing its hiring model?

The organization is introducing part-time roles for the first time to expand its talent pool. According to LACSN, the goal is to attract both graduating law students and experienced attorneys who no longer wish to work in private practice.

The organization provides mentoring and training to these new hires. This shift in flexibility could allow the organization to better maintain its role as a legal safety net, a position it has held for 68 years.
