Staff Attorney – Economic Justice Practice
 
Overview
Still She Rises, Inc. (SSR) provides free legal representation to pregnant women, mothers, and women who are caregivers of children, who have been brought into the criminal and family policing legal systems. Founded in North Tulsa, Still She Rises is the first holistic defense office in the country dedicated exclusively to the representation of mothers in both the criminal and civil legal systems. We honor the dignity of the women we serve by championing the goals of each individual client, while also targeting systemic issues impacting the larger community.
 
Responsibilities
 
Attorneys in the Economic Justice Practice zealously advocate for individuals seeking relief from the burdens of criminal records and criminal court debt in Tulsa County and the City of Tulsa. Representation also includes identifying and pursuing legal avenues for relief from governmental restrictions on access to employment licenses, housing, or driver licenses. Economic Justice Attorneys provide comprehensive representation in collaboration with advocates, investigators and attorneys in other practice areas. To that end, Economic Justice Attorneys must consistently be prepared to litigate and confidently engage in skillful negotiations with judges, opposing counsel, and other actors within the systems our clients navigate. Economic Justice Attorneys may occasionally have the opportunity to collaborate on cases in other venues as necessary to provide the most effective client-focused representation.
