Pros
Great opportunity to contribute to real, uncompromising litigation and advocacy work alongside leaders in the field.
Cons
There can be a gap in agency and responsibility between attorneys and non-attorneys. Not exactly a con, but one should understand the NYCLU (and ACLU's) political positions when considering the role. Because of its old school civil libertarian stance, sometimes the organization feels marginal to contemporary activism or detached from pressing issues (e.g. economic justice).
