- With a team of over 550 staff, including over 190 litigators, we wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect public health, address environmental injustice, defend magnificent places and irreplaceable ecosystems, transition our economy to 100% clean energy, and combat climate change.
- Our strategic legal advocacy program focuses primarily on our own advocacy, serving as a resource to our talented team by, for example, providing research and drafting assistance on novel or difficult legal issues that arise during litigation, with a focus on cases that arrive before an en banc court or the U.S. Supreme Court, and convening litigators from across Earthjustice to develop organizational responses to new legal doctrines.
- In the past year, the program has expanded its reach to Earthjustice’s peers in the broader progressive legal community, for example, by hosting webinars to inform the community of developments in the law, assisting litigants with their amicus strategy in high-profile cases, and providing expert advice and drafting assistance in cases pending before en banc courts and the U.S. Supreme Court.
- The attorney will be joining a small team supervised by the Senior Vice President of Programs, who manages our litigation and lobbying teams.
- Serve as a partner and resource to Earthjustice litigation teams who encounter difficult, novel, or important legal issues with consequences for future Earthjustice litigation, such as by reviewing drafts; providing drafting assistance; being a moot court judge; or serving as lead counsel on cases or amicus briefs
