TWO-YEAR PUBLIC INTEREST FELLOWSHIP

WASHINGTON, D.C. or OAKLAND, CA

Public Justice, a national public interest law firm dedicated to pursuing justice for the victims of corporate and government abuses, seeks to hire a recent law school graduate to serve as a Fellow for two years in either its Washington, D.C. headquarters or its Oakland, California office.  The Fellow will help develop and litigate Public Justice's cases.  The two-year position will be open beginning in the Summer or Fall of 2013.  Please note in your cover letter when you would be available to start.

Public Justice is involved in a broader range of high-impact, cutting-edge litigation than any other public interest firm in the nation.  Our lawsuits fight for consumers' and victims' rights, the environment, civil rights and civil liberties, public health and safety, workers' rights, government and corporate accountability, and the protection of the poor and powerless.  Our Access to Justice Campaign works to keep the courthouse doors open for all - by battling federal preemption, unnecessary court secrecy, class action bans and abuses, unfair mandatory arbitration, and other efforts to deprive people of their day in court.

The Fellow will work collaboratively with Public Justice's staff attorneys, outside lawyers who support Public Justice's work, and other public interest groups to develop and bring precedent-setting and socially significant litigation.  He or she may also help to develop materials designed to educate members of the public and the bar about Public Justice's cases and the issues they address.  

REQUIREMENTS:

*	Superb analytical, legal research, legal writing, and speaking skills   
*	Preference given to individuals with demonstrated commitment to the public interest and at least two years of litigation experience  
*	Self-motivation, creativity, and can-do personality
*	Strong organizational skills
*	Willingness and ability to travel for several weeks per year
*	Good sense of humor and ability to get along with others
*	Healthy sense of outrage and desire to change the world for the better 

Salary is $50,000 per year.  Excellent benefits.  Public Justice is an equal-opportunity employer.  Diversity valued.  Send cover letter, resume, writing sample, transcript, and references to:  lawfellow at publicjustice.net <file:///C:\Users\vni\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary%20Internet%20Files\Content.Outlook\SS91MX4O\%3ca%20href=> ">lawfellow at publicjustice.net or 2013-15 Fellowship Opening, Public Justice, 555 12th Street, Suite 1230, Oakland, CA 94607.  Electronic submissions are strongly preferred.  The deadline for applications is February 15, 2013.
