The University of Miami School of Law, Center for Ethics and Public Service, has a great opportunity for a Program Coordinator to work at the Coral Gables Campus.

Founded in 1996, the Center for Ethics and Public Service (CEPS) is a law school-housed ethics education, experiential skills training, and community engagement program devoted to the values of ethical judgement, professional responsibility, and public service in law and society. The Center’s Mission is to educate law students to serve their communities as citizen lawyers.

The Center operates three programs: the Community Equity Lab, the Black Church Program, and the Legal Profession Program.
