INSTRUCTIONS

Interested candidates should submit their complete application via Jobvite by 5:00 pm PT on Sunday, January 5, 2025. Incomplete applications will not be considered.    

Each Earthjustice litigation team participates in clerk hiring; candidates may submit applications to whichever and however many litigation teams they are interested. Please be prepared to respond to our  September follow-up e-mail, requesting your ranked choice of the teams for which you have applied. Do not include such rankings within your Jobvite application.  Application Materials Requested:

• Resume.
• Cover letter that addresses:
• Relevant aspects of your background that are not apparent or fully explained in your resume; 
• Why you are drawn to Earthjustice’s mission and the litigation teams for which you are applying; and 
• Whether there are particular environmental or public interest issues that inspire you. 
• Additional documents (select “Add Files” in Jobvite): 
• A recent legal writing sample of no more than 10 pages that primarily reflects your work. Please include a cover page indicating the extent to which your writing sample reflects edits and feedback from others.  
• Unofficial transcript. 
• Finalists will be asked to submit two references; these may be law school faculty or legal professional, clinical, or volunteer supervisors. 

 RESOURCES  While identical applications for each team will be considered, we recommend tailoring your cover letter to describe why you are interested in that specific team. Additional information about our hiring process and tips for success can be found at https://earthjustice.org/about/jobs/hiring-process.     If you experience any technical difficulties or require any accommodations throughout the hiring process, please contact us at jobs@earthjustice.org. No phone calls, drop-ins, or hard copies.
