Our legal work includes individual and impact litigation, meaning litigation of cases that have the potential to broadly impact conditions for many similarly situated people or highlights a particular issue.

Working at DRC is more than just a job - it's that rare opportunity to do what you're good at while making a difference in the lives of Californians with disabilities.

We are committed to the principle that in order to effectively serve Californians with disabilities, our staff should reflect California.

If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity, we will ask that you include a cover letter with your application. We encourage you to use that to address the variety of ways you may help us achieve our diversity goals.
