The Alaska office of Earthjustice is now accepting applications for an Associate Attorney to join our team working to protect the natural values and ecosystems of Alaska and the people who use and rely on them.

The term for the associate position is three years. Some associates go on to other positions within Earthjustice, while others use the experience as a springboard to other career opportunities in environmental litigation or other areas.
Earthjustice is the premier nonprofit environmental law organization. We take on the biggest, most precedent-setting cases across the country. We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect people’s health; to preserve magnificent places and wildlife; to advance clean energy; and to combat climate change. We partner with thousands of groups, supporters, individuals and communities to engage the critical environmental issues of our time and bring about positive change.

We represent conservation groups, Alaska Native tribal and nonprofit organizations, community groups, fishing organizations, and others in litigation and other advocacy before federal and state agencies and in the courts. Our current priorities include protecting America’s Arctic from oil and gas development, roadless area and old growth forest protection on the Tongass National Forest, and opposition to several proposed large-scale mines in western and southeast Alaska and on transboundary rivers in Canada.
