      Pros

      Great, passionate fellow attorneys and paralegals who genuinely believe in doing the good work that they’re doing

      Cons

      Upper management is waging a war against attorneys of color. They’ve never been particularly good or supportive of them, but within the past few years it has become full out toxic — gaslighting, being dismissive and disrespectful, completely putting their heads in the sand when they are told their actions are harmful. CAL purports to be social Justice driven in the public defense space, but how can the org be trusted to carry out its mission to its clients when it treats its own staff like this? Absolutely terrible. Do NOT go here if you are an attorney (or paralegal) of color, they do not care about you.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - ok benefits, great union support, good work/life balance - client advocate role fosters a positive learning experience

      Cons

      - Absolutely no support from management. The client advocates are responsible for high stake client concerns without much guidance, training or support. - Management fails to address tangible issues brought my client advocates , leaving them to handle interpersonal conflict and emotionally heavy work without supportive intervention. - No growth opportunity in a lot of the projects' client advocate position (barring few).
