Essential Job Functions

ELG's litigators prosecute and defend cases involving voting rights, redistricting, the First Amendment, and other areas consistent with the firm's and its clients' missions. ELG consistently has active cases in both state and federal courts and at the trial court and appellate level, including before the U.S. Supreme Court. These matters are often high pressure, fast paced, and offer a rewarding opportunity for lawyers who want to use their litigation skills on the front lines to protect democracy and support the efforts of progressive clients.

We are seeking attorneys with meaningful litigation experience and excellent credentials. We are primarily looking for candidates in class years 2018-2024, but we will consider candidates in other class years with exceptional qualifications or experience. Excellent legal writing skills are a must, as is meaningful litigation experience, the ability to take significant responsibility for cases and skillfully move them forward, as well as excellent oral presentation skills, experience supervising and directing more junior attorneys and staff, and careful attention to detail and the ability to work quickly, thoughtfully, and collaboratively in a challenging and fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate will have the experience and skill set to take and defend depositions, a deep familiarity with the federal rules of procedure and evidence, meaningful in-court experience, and broad motions practice experience, including the ability to execute major filings from beginning to end.

All applicants are asked to address the following in their cover letter:
- Why are you interested in ELG?
- What is the best lesson you've learned in the past five years?
- Tell a story that illustrates your problem solving skills.
- How would you add value to the practice and your case teams beginning in your first month?

In addition to your resume and cover letter, please upload copies of your law school transcript and a writing sample.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Have excellent writing and editing skills, and be able to draft compelling, accurate, and thoughtful written work product;
  • Have strong oral presentation and client-facing skills;
  • Have meaningful experience in state or federal court litigation (clerkship experience is a plus);
  • Have a strong understanding of the lifecycle of a civil case and working knowledge of the rules of procedure and evidence;
  • Be committed to a team mentality (with the attitude that no job is too small);
  • Have a commitment to the mission of ELG.
Work Environment
  • Position will operate on a hybrid schedule in a professional office environment and is expected to work in office at least three (3) days a week (currently Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Travel is required.
  • Position routinely uses standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photocopiers, and filing cabinets.
  • Position requires that the employee be able to multi-task in a fast-paced work environment.
Physical Demands
