Six Million Students are Waiting on You - Chief Legal Counsel 

The beauty of being an education attorney is working on some of the most important issues of our time. As Chief Legal Counsel for the California School Boards Association (CSBA), your efforts will support school boards and millions of California students who will help shape the future of this state.

The Chief Legal Counsel position is a unique opportunity for an experienced education law attorney to, without an annual hours requirement, direct CSBA’s new Legal Services department and lead our Education Legal Alliance, the preeminent legal advocacy organization for California public schools. Working with CSBA’s membership — which includes 58 county offices of education and nearly 1,000 school districts — means you’ll experience the vibrant tapestry of the nation’s most diverse state while strengthening its public education system.

The benefits don’t stop there. As a CSBA employee, you’ll receive a retirement pension, a generous vacation package, and several paid days off in addition to the usual end-of-year holidays during CSBA’s year-end office closure. You’ll also have the excitement of building a team from the ground up. Our ideal candidate is an energetic, service-oriented professional ready to help assemble a legal team that provides critical representation and advice to school districts in every corner of California. If this sounds like the right fit for you, apply now.
