CFR is committed to providing robust supervision to program staff, and we have a need for a Litigation Supervisor in the Bronx Under the supervision of the YDP Director and Deputy Director, the Litigation Supervisor’s primary responsibility will be to supervise up to four or five staff attorneys of varying degrees of experience who work in interdisciplinary teams with social work, youth advocate, peer advocate, client coordinator and paralegal staff to represent children in Article 3 Juvenile Delinquency proceedings, Persons in Need of Supervision (PINS), occasional Youth Part cases and other related family court proceedings. Litigation Supervisors are responsible for helping attorneys develop mastery in all aspects of litigation as well as in reinforcing and building upon skills and values introduced in initial and ongoing trainings, and provide regular, robust supervision. Litigation Supervisors write professional development reviews, periodically coordinate case practice and attorney workgroup meetings, and from time to time, develop practice materials useful for staff at CFR. Litigation Supervisors also work with family court staff and staff from other agencies, including Corporation Counsel or the Dept. of Probation, to address substantive and operational issues that affect a large court-based practice.
The Litigation Supervisor will work with the Director and Deputy Directors of YDP, Director of Holistic Practice, Training Supervisor, Development & HR staff, and Executive Director to inform decisions on strategic planning and overall program development and improvement for the entire agency. In those areas, activities may include administration, hiring and recruitment, training, policy work, development, progressive discipline, fellowships, and appeals. All Supervisors are expected to demonstrate an aptitude for productive problem-solving, a commitment to CFR’s current DEI work, and a desire to contribute to the stewardship of CFR; this includes the ability to positively and productively contribute to the work culture at CFR in communications and work with staff at all levels, including progressive discipline if necessary. Candidates for supervisor also need to be well organized in order to work efficiently and effectively beyond their own caseload and to effectively supervise multiple staff with possibly varying levels of experience.

CFR’s mission is to defend the rights of parents and youth through free, holistic interdisciplinary legal and social work representation. We fight for the integrity of families, primarily low-income Black and brown parents and youth targeted by systems of family regulation and incarceration.
CFR’s model supports parents in raising their children with self-determination, reduces reliance on the foster system and youth incarceration, and addresses the underlying causes of family instability.
We represent parents and youth in the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens; we provide training and technical assistance to more than 500 practitioners annually from around the country; and we work to promote systemic change that dignifies and benefits youth and families.
