SF/DC - Koob Environmental Litigation Fellowship

The Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. (NRDC), is a leading nonprofit environmental group with more than 1.2 million members and online activists. We have offices in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Livingston, MT, and Beijing. Our staff of more than 350 includes lawyers, scientists, policy analysts and educators, all working to protect the environment and public health.

 

NRDC is seeking a recent law school graduate to be a Charles Koob Environmental Litigation Fellow. This two-year position is available starting in September 2012. The fellow will work on litigation in federal and/or state courts to address significant environmental problems such as air and water pollution, public health threats, harms to natural resources, and environmental injustices. NRDC litigates on behalf of its own members and with a range of coalition partners including neighborhood associations, regional grassroots organizations, and environmental, labor, and public health groups.

 

The Fellow will work under the direction of senior attorneys and with other NRDC staff on all phases of litigation, from case development through trial and appeals.  The Fellow may also engage in some administrative advocacy, policy research, and legislative analysis.

 

The Fellow will be located in either NRDC’s San Francisco or Washington, DC, office.
