Earthjustice’s Northern Rockies Office Seeks Associate Attorney and Summer Law Clerks

Earthjustice’s Northern Rockies Office Seeks Associate Attorney and Summer Law Clerks

Earthjustice’s Northern Rockies Office in Bozeman, Montana, is currently accepting applications for an associate attorney to begin no later than Fall 2016, and law clerks for Summer 2016.

Earthjustice is the nation’s premier nonprofit environmental law organization, with eleven regional offices across the country.  In the Northern Rockies, we are engaged in litigation focused on protecting and preserving the iconic wildlife species and wild lands of this incomparable region and combating coal mining, coal-fired power, and natural gas development that threatens public health and drives climate change.  In recent years, our work has increasingly touched on Native American interests and issues of Indian law, including work to restore wild bison to tribal lands; to oppose oil and gas exploration on public national forest lands of extreme cultural and spiritual importance to the Blackfeet people; and to halt a state proposal to open a massive new coal mine on lands significant to the Northern Cheyenne in southeast Montana.  We regularly litigate federal and state court cases in an effort to defeat the major threats to the ecological integrity of the Northern Rockies region.

More information about our work is available here.

Information about the associate attorney and summer law clerk positions and application requirements is available here.
