The Organization and Mission

In January 1982, Public Justice was founded as Trial Lawyers for Public Justice. Today, Public Justice is a nonprofit legal advocacy organization dedicated to challenging the biggest systemic threats to justice of our time – abusive corporate power and predatory practices, the assault on civil rights and liberties, and the destruction of the earth’s sustainability. Through its dedicated public interest advocates and movement-aligned advocacy campaigns, Public Justice connects high-impact litigation with strategic communications and the strength of its partnerships to fight abusive and discriminatory systems and win social and economic justice. Public Justice’s vision is a society where a person’s opportunities and outcomes in life are not dictated by their race, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, political and economic power, or other social identities. Public Justice strives for a just and equitable society whose systems and institutions are explicitly anti-racist and anti-sexist and serve the common good for the benefit of all.

The Opportunity

As Public Justice embarks on an exciting new chapter in its history, the organization will be selecting a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the way, who will serve as only the third leader of the organization since its inception. Last spring, Executive Director Paul Bland, a renowned litigator and nationally respected authority on preserving class litigation and fighting forced arbitration, announced that he plans to step down from the organization in May 2024, ten years after taking the helm. Bland has played a pivotal role in the organization’s growth and success over the last two decades. The new Chief Executive Officer will have an incredible opportunity to build on a rich legacy and further accelerate the organization’s mission. This leader will join at a moment in which the nonprofit has recently celebrated 40 years of service. In 2022, Public Justice proudly announced its #40Cases40Years campaign, highlighting landmark cases. These are great examples of the ongoing and significant impact of Public Justice’s stellar legal advocacy on behalf of stakeholders who need it most. The Chief Executive Officer will lead this national legal advocacy organization and will be responsible for achieving the mission of the organization and for the overall direction and supervision of the work of Public Justice. The Chief Executive Officer is the principal Page 3 of 6 spokesperson for the organization in communicating the purpose and mission of Public Justice both internally and externally. The Chief Executive Officer will be responsible for maintaining and growing the organization through robust governance, strong management, fiscal responsibility, budget oversight, fundraising, effective communication, and team building.

Environmental Enforcement Staff Attorney

Environmental Enforcement Staff Attorney

Who We Are

Public Justice, a non-profit legal advocacy organization that takes on the biggest systemic threats to justice of our time—abusive corporate power and predatory practices, the assault on civil rights and liberties, and the destruction of the earth’s sustainability—is seeking to hire a full-time staff attorney litigator with at least three years of relevant experience to develop and prosecute cases for our Environmental Enforcement Project.

Public Justice connects high-impact litigation with strategic communications and the strength of our partnerships to fight abusive and discriminatory systems and win social and economic justice. In particular, we ensure access to the civil justice system, protect the civil rights of students, boldly lead efforts to reform the industrial agriculture system, fight to end modern-day debtors’ prisons, enforce the nation’s most important environmental laws, and much more.

The Environmental Enforcement Project is a national leader in using citizen suits to enforce federal statutes protecting environmental quality and human health. Our clients and partners include prominent and recognized advocates such as The Sierra Club, Southern Environmental Law Center, The Center for Biological Diversity, and others, as well as labor unions and community organizations.

What We Are Looking For

An experienced attorney who will litigate citizen suits, as well as develop and employ new, cutting-edge legal theories to compel polluters to clean up their pollution and internalize the costs they impose on the environment and the public—and, especially, to combat climate change.

The Environmental Enforcement Project Staff Attorney will primarily be responsible for developing and prosecuting precedent-setting and socially significant lawsuits against major pollution sources, including fossil fuel industry actors and animal industrial agriculture. The attorney should be prepared to develop new legal theories outside of environmental law and think holistically about how to reform industries and push our country towards a clean energy future.

Other duties will include networking with attorneys and other public interest groups; helping to develop and define strategic goals; and supporting fundraising and communication efforts for the organization. The right candidate will be a tenacious litigator dedicated to public interest litigation with environmental and tort law experience and a creative and strategic thinker able to work both independently and within teams. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in advancing cutting-edge legal strategies that intersect with pressing social and political issues, including climate change, access to clean water, fracking, clean energy, and community mobilization around these issues.

The EEP Staff Attorney will play an integral part in shaping Public Justice’s strategic plan to ensuring the Environmental Enforcement Project is well-positioned to take on important, innovative work that holds government leaders, corporations, and polluters accountable. This position will play a key role in developing those goals and strategies with the EEP Director.

The EEP Staff Attorney is an exempt position and will report to the Environmental Enforcement Project Director. The attorney will also work collaboratively with Public Justice’s other attorneys, outside lawyers who support Public Justice’s work, and other public interest groups to develop and bring precedent-setting cases to protect the environment.

Our strong preference is for this position to be based in our Washington D.C. or Oakland, CA offices, but we will consider applications from especially qualified candidates seeking to work remotely from other parts of the country. Because Public Justice handles litigation, education, and advocacy nationally, the position will entail some travel.

Key Responsibilities 

  • Develop new cases strategically; conduct factual investigations; develop legal theories; draft pleadings and briefs; and otherwise manage new and existing cases within state and federal courts and administrative agencies.
  • Litigate cases from investigation to end, performing all aspects of litigation.
  • Develop and maintain partnerships with clients, allies, and coalition partners in litigation and other advocacy.
  • Collaborate and manage relationships with co-counsel, clients, and coalition partners.
  • Supervise the work of Law Fellows and Law Clerks within the organization. Play an integral role in developing and mentoring less experienced attorneys.
  • Integrate communications and legislative advocacy into litigation and other legal strategies, working effectively with other departments at Public Justice, including Communications and Development. Utilize traditional and social media networks to publicize our work, develop speaking engagements to educate the public about Public Justice’s cases and the issues they represent, and assist with donor and foundation relations and communications.

Experience, Skills & Qualifications

  • Law degree and at least three years of litigation experience.
  • Experience in environmental law, tort law, and litigating under the Administrative Procedures Act; conversant with scientific and technical data.
  • Excellent litigation skills, including legal research, writing, analytical, and oral advocacy skills, and ability to manage a litigation docket effectively.
  • Strong skills in communicating litigation and advocacy goals and messages to the media and public.
  • Ability to work independently and in collaboration with client partners and in leading a team.
  • Strong and demonstrated initiative, good judgment, creativity, and work ethic.
  • Ability and willingness to travel as needed for case work, court appearances, and presentations.
  • Commitment to serving the public interest, and a passion for the role of Public Justice and its mission.
  • Sensitivity to the needs and concerns of and the ability to work with individuals and groups from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and orientations.
  • Contributes to the creation of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work community that encourages collaboration

Salary

We offer a mission-focused work environment, a teamwork and community-oriented approach, and a competitive compensation package. Our attorneys are paid on a salary scale based on years out of law school. The starting annual salary for a staff attorney with three years out of law school is $95,000.

Benefits

  • Four-day workweek
  • Flexible schedule
  • Three weeks of paid vacation
  • Two weeks of sick leave
  • Two personal days each year
