Senior Attorney
Trial Impact Project seeks a creative and skilled litigator with excellent judgment for the role of Senior Attorney. This is a unique opportunity to help develop and lead a docket of trial-focused public interest cases during a period of great threat to civil rights and the rule of law. Our Senior Attorneys drive the impact litigation program by litigating complex trial-level cases, managing select cases in collaboration with pro bono counsel and co-counsel, and overseeing the legal work of our early-career fellows. This role requires strong collaboration across teams, strong litigation skills, and strong project management skills.
We will prioritize applications received by July 21. We will also consider a candidate with 4-6 years of legal experience for a Staff Attorney position.

- Experience developing investigations into corporate or government actors
- Experience within, or relationships with, local and state government offices seeking to enforce civil rights
