The Public Policy Litigation & Law (“Litigation & Law”) program of Planned

firm associate at its office either in New York City or Washington, D.C. for up to one
year (though we will also consider applicants for shorter periods), beginning in the
summer or fall of 2010.

PPFA is the nation’s leading women’s health care provider, educator, and advocate,
serving women, men, teens, and families. PPFA is unique in that it is both an
advocacy organization and a provider of health care services through its 97 affiliates
that manage nearly 880 health centers nationwide For more than 90 years, we have
done more than any other organization in the United States to improve women’s
health and safety, prevent unintended pregnancies, and guarantee that safe and legal
abortion services and other reproductive healthcare services are available to women
who need them.

Litigation & Law is a key component of PPFA’s Public Policy program. Litigation
& Law is responsible for representing PPFA and Planned Parenthood affiliates
nationwide by bringing legal challenges to attempts to restrict access to reproductive
health care both in state and federal court, advising PPFA and Planned Parenthood
affiliates about the legal issues raised by such attempts, and assisting with PPFA’s
and its affiliates’ efforts to influence state and federal legislation in order to improve
access to women’s health services.

The deferred associate would be involved with all of the work of the Litigation &
Law department. He or she would assist in monitoring legislation or other legal
developments that affect access to reproductive health services and providing legal
advice on these matters. He or she would also be involved with PPFA’s litigation
work, undertaking projects that would likely include legal research, drafting
pleadings and briefs, working with expert witnesses, and communicating with clients.
The Litigation & Law staff is split between New York and Washington, D.C.
Regardless of where the deferred associate locates, he or she would work extensively
with the entire Litigation & Law staff. The Senior Director, the Deputy Director, a
Staff Attorney, and a paralegal are based in New York. A Senior Staff Attorney, a
Staff Attorney, an Associate Staff Attorney, and a paralegal are located in
Washington. In addition to the Litigation & Law staff, the deferred associate would

office, especially those in Government Relations.

& Law department of PPFA should send a resume, cover letter, and writing sample to
