Community Law & Mediation are recruiting an environmental justice lawyer, with an immediate start date. The position is part-time (4 days per week) and fixed term (2 years), though it is hoped to secure sufficient funding to enable the role to be longer term.
Community Law & Mediation (CLM) is a community based, independent law centre providing services nationwide and operating in two locations: Dublin and Limerick. It was founded in 1975 and assists more than 4,000 people annually through its services, which include free legal advice and representation; information and education; and mediation and conflict coaching. CLM also campaigns for law reform, and for the safeguarding of rights already enshrined in law.
In 2021, Community Law & Mediation (CLM) established Ireland’s first Centre for Environmental Justice. The objective of the Centre is to empower communities experiencing disadvantage on environmental justice issues.
Environmental Justice ensures that marginalised groups are not disproportionately impacted by climate change or other environmental harms, and that environmental measures and climate action protect and build equality and social justice. The intersectional focus of the Centre for Environmental Justice fits within CLM’s strategy and mission.
