Litigation Attorney Details

Litigation Attorney

Institute for Justice - Arlington, VA

Employment Type : Full-Time

Are you tired of billable hours? Are you unfulfilled with your current job? Do you want to litigate the kind of cases that made you go to law school in the first place? Join the Institute for Justice—the National Law Firm of Liberty—and work on cutting-edge constitutional cases, stop government abuses, and champion individual rights. IJ is on the lookout for an energetic and entrepreneurial attorney with 2-5 years of litigation experience for its Arlington, Va. headquarters office. IJ is the country’s leading public-interest law firm in the areas of economic liberty, free speech, private property rights and educational choice.

Attorneys at IJ bring creative, intellectually challenging cases in courts around the country. Within a supportive, team-based culture, attorneys develop their own cases, direct legal strategy, take depositions and present oral argument through every stage of litigation, maintaining ownership of their cases up to and including the U.S. Supreme Court. IJ attorneys are also active outside the courtroom, doing media writing and appearances, public speaking, grassroots activism and direct advocacy to policymakers and legislators.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Excellent writing and communication skills;
  • Desire to create real world impact and be willing to push the envelope in strategizing how to win challenging cases;
  • At least 2 years of litigation experience;
  • A passion for limiting the size and scope of government power in an effort to ensure that all Americans have the right to control their own destinies as free and responsible members of society;
  • And judicial clerkship experience (not required, but strongly preferred).

Compensation is commensurate with experience and exceeds other legal non-profits and government pay scales. IJ also offers superior benefits including medical, dental, vision and life insurance, retirement benefits, flexible work-day schedules, and generous paid leave.

If you’re ready to join our exciting team, please submit a resume, a cover letter, and a writing sample. The writing sample should be approximately 10 pages and it should demonstrate your best legal analysis.

IJ is an equal opportunity employer.
