Access to Justice Senior Attorney
Public Justice
Washington, D.C. (preferred) or remote
$120,250

Public Justice is a public interest legal advocacy organization dedicated to pursuing high impact lawsuits to combat social and economic injustice, protect the Earth’s sustainability, and challenge predatory corporate conduct and government abuses. Public Justice seeks to hire a litigator with at least eight years of relevant experience for a Senior Attorney position in our Access to Justice Project.

Public Justice Overview
Public Justice specializes in high-impact, cutting-edge litigation. We use that tool along with strategic communications and partnerships to take on the biggest systemic threats to justice of our time—abusive corporate power and predatory practices, the assault on civil rights and civil liberties, and the destruction of the earth’s sustainability. Our Access to Justice Project is one of several substantive areas of our work. Our other substantive areas include the Debtors’ Prison Project, which combats the criminalization of poverty; the Environmental Enforcement Project, which fights climate change and secures environmental justice; and the Students’ Civil Rights Project, which combats harassment and discrimination in schools.

Access to Justice Project Overview
The Access to Justice Project seeks to make the civil court system a fair, equitable, and effective tool for those with less power to win just outcomes and hold those with more power accountable.

The Project challenges and removes the key inequities that block access to justice through the civil courts and creates new opportunities to make the civil courts an effective tool for equitable justice. To achieve this outcome, Access to Justice works with a network of litigators, organizations, and others who share our vision, and in partnership with them, identifies, assesses, and prioritizes key barriers and opportunities for a just and equitable civil court system.

The Access to Justice Project works toward these goals primarily through strategic high-impact litigation, but also supports coalition advocacy and works to educate and engage on these topics. The Project’s areas of focus include combatting the use of forced arbitration and other contractual restrictions on bringing claims in court, restrictive standing doctrines, excessive court secrecy, federal preemption of state-law claims, undue limitations on class actions, and limits on accountability for law enforcement and detention abuses.

Job Responsibilities:
Serve as lead counsel or co-counsel in the investigation and development of impact litigation that furthers the strategic goals of the Access to Justice Project and the mission of Public Justice.
Participate in the full range of litigation tasks involved in the Access to Justice Project, primarily legal research and analysis, briefing, and oral arguments, client representation, and, occasionally, factual investigation, discovery, and settlement negotiation.
Review requests for representation and develop appropriate cases, appeals, amicus briefs, and special legal projects.
Supervise junior attorneys and legal fellows engaged in Access to Justice projects.

Qualifications:
J.D. degree and at least eight years of post-law school experience, which can include a clerkship or fellowship.
Excellent analytical, writing, and speaking skills and the ability to modulate writing and speaking style for different types of audiences.
Excellent outreach and networking skills.
Litigation experience with progressively increasing responsibilities for case management.
Experience supervising other attorneys or fellows.

Interested candidates should submit a:
Cover letter that conveys why you are drawn to Public Justice’s mission and how your experience fits with that mission. Please specify in your cover letter whether you are applying to work in the Washington, D.C. office or remotely.
Contact information for three references.
Writing sample, preferably a legal brief that is either unedited or only lightly edited by someone other than you. Please include a cover sheet explaining the extent of editing by someone else.
