Staff attorneys can expect to be deeply engaged in legal research and analysis of claims and issues, as well as complex motion practice, stakeholder contact and supporting active investigation and/or litigation's teams. The candidate will become an active member of one or more of campaign teams, often working in conjunction with local co-counsel, local advocates and experts. The candidate should have 1-3 years of applicable litigation experience.
