· Collaborating with staff at Rising Sun and across the PHMC network on case consultations and other public benefits matters under the close supervision of the MLP attorney;

· Partnering with the MLP attorney in identifying the training needs of Rising Sun staff and throughout the PHMC network, and providing the training when appropriate;

· Partnering with the MLP attorney in identifying and executing new ways to address unmet legal need at Rising Sun, including through legal clinics, pro bono partnerships, and self-help materials; and
