Description:

Lateral civil-rights litigation associates.
We are seeking trial lawyers, committed to the public interest, who wish to enforce constitutional and civil rights; advocate for victims of racial, sex, and other forms of discrimination and retaliation; fight for whistleblowers; and advance the causes of police and other government accountability. If this is why you want to law school yet you find yourself doing something else, then this may be your opportunity to fight for righteous causes, and not just on cases over other people's money.

Lateral litigators (at least one year of litigation or judicial-clerkship experience)—posted on a rolling basis until filled
