About the Opening

Washington Legal Foundation is looking for a smart, capable Senior Litigator to join its team. The attorney will primarily draft and file thoughtful and persuasive amicus curiae briefs in the Supreme Court of the United States, federal courts of appeals, and state appellate courts. WLF prides itself on the quality of its briefs, which aim to be concise, direct, and carefully crafted. WLF therefore seeks an attorney with excellent writing skills and a keen eye for persuasive legal writing.

WLF is the nation’s premier public-interest law firm and policy center. For 48 years, our mission has been to preserve and defend America’s free-enterprise system, individual rights, limited government, and the rule of law. Although the WLF litigation team enjoys a friendly and collaborative environment, the Senior Litigator will be expected to operate independently and with very minimal supervision. The attorney will serve as counsel of record for all the briefs that he or she drafts and will be responsible for all work submitted to the courts. WLF litigators think deeply about important legal issues; they are scholarly in their approach to the law; they strive to submit briefs that bring a unique and valuable perspective to a case. An attorney who shares these attributes will thrive in this position. [Read more…]
