Earthjustice

<div><div><div>Earthjustice seeks a senior attorney to work with a team of attorneys and professional staff in the DC Regional Office focused on climate issues. The team advances and defends stronger national initiatives to curb greenhouse gas emissions as we focus on ensuring a just and equitable transition for those most impacted by power plants and industries that generate climate pollution. Examples of the work include: litigation to secure and strengthen national greenhouse gas emissions standards for major industries, defending federal authority to regulate greenhouse gases, protect/reinstate federal efforts to support clean energy and electrification as well as ensuring federal government supports state and local efforts to be more climate resilient and development on climate science and access to data.</div><div><div>
Earthjustice is the nation&rsquo;s leading environmental law organization. Wielding the power of law, Earthjustice partners with our clients to take on the most critical fights of our time&mdash;fights to protect the incredible biodiversity and wild places of the planet; to avert climate disaster by transitioning society away from fossil fuels toward clean energy; to safeguard the right of all people to a healthy environment. We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer.<br>
<br>
Founded in 1971, Earthjustice has a distinguished track record of achieving significant, lasting environmental protections. We achieve this by hiring people who share a passion for justice and a healthy environment. Our headquarters are in San Francisco with offices in Anchorage, Bozeman, Chicago, Denver, Honolulu, Houston, Juneau, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Seattle, Tallahassee and Washington, D.C.</div><div>
</div></div><div><div>
The Washington, D.C. office serves as a center for litigation on important national environmental issues, a regional office for issues arising in Mid-Atlantic States, and a source of legal advocacy on environmental justice issues in a variety of locations. The office&rsquo;s docket currently includes litigation and administrative advocacy to protect public health and the environment from air pollution, hazardous wastes, and dangerous chemicals; curb greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy efficiency, clean energy and clean transportation; and protect streams, wetlands, and drinking water. A significant focus of our work is preventing environmental harms to children, disproportionately impacted communities of color, and low-income communities. For more information about the office&rsquo;s work, visit http://earthjustice.org/about/offices/dc.</div><div>
</div></div><div><div>
Earthjustice has a longstanding record of success with our litigation and advocacy to attack climate pollution and other dangerous air emissions and to advance a transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. We played a significant role in litigation establishing EPA&rsquo;s power to limit greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act and defending the agency&rsquo;s initial exercise of that power. In recent years, we have achieved major success in securing stronger air pollution limits on dirty coal-fired power plants, effective national energy efficiency standards that have dramatically cut power use, increased reliance on and access to clean energy across the country, and zero-emissions transportation commitments at the local and state level.</div><div>

The</b><b> </b><b>Consumer Protection Division</b><b> </b><b>of the Washington State Attorney General&rsquo;s Office is seeking to hire attorneys to join its team as an Assistant Attorney General (AAG). The CP Division aims to protect Washington consumers from unfair and deceptive acts through its enforcement of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), RCW 19.86, and other consumer protection laws.</b></div><div><b><br>
The position will be located in downtown Seattle or Spokane, WA, depending on the needs and interest of the person hired to fill this role. The AGO provides some flexibility with respect to schedules and telecommuting, consistent with the needs of the Office.</b></div></div><p></p>
<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Duties</b></h2></div>
<p></p><div><div><b>As a CP attorney, you will get the opportunity to serve some of Washington&rsquo;s most vulnerable communities. While the CP Division&rsquo;s work is for the benefit of all Washington consumers, much of the Division&rsquo;s enforcement actions are focused on unlawful business practices that target people of limited means, veterans, the elderly, and immigrants. In this position, you would be at the forefront of these cases, and your work will have a direct, measurable impact on the lives of vulnerable Washingtonians.</b></div><div></div><div><b><br>
The Division&rsquo;s management strives to find engaging, interesting, and fulfilling work that is well suited to the experience level and interests of the individual AAGs. The Division does a good job of balancing the staffing needs of the various investigations and cases with the interests of AAGs in particular subjects and industries. There are AAGs in the Division who choose to focus on specific areas, like healthcare, veterans&rsquo; issues, or privacy matters, while others prefer a variety of practice areas. The Division&rsquo;s management also makes professional growth a priority. AAGs are encouraged to take on more responsibility as their careers progress, and training, leadership, and professional development are all opportunities this position will provide.</b></div><div></div><div><b><br>
If you are offered this position, you can expect to have a great deal of responsibility for and control over your daily work while also working with teams of attorneys who complement and cover for each other. As an experienced AAG you will lead your own investigations and all aspects of civil litigation, including discovery, motions practices, and resolving cases through trial or negotiated settlements. More senior AAGs are expected to provide mentorship and leadership to newer attorneys and staff. You will be expected to manage your caseload to ensure matters are moving expeditiously. You may also be required to advise the Attorney General&rsquo;s leadership and policy staff on consumer protection issues and provide public education and outreach.</b></div><div></div><div><br>
Attorneys can expect to participate in high-profile consumer protection litigation such as State v. Navient (student lending), State v. Providence (charity care violations), State v. Google (unlawful privacy practices), State v. Chuck&rsquo;s Towing (failure to comply with Servicemembers&rsquo; Civil Relief Act), State v. CA Certificate Services (government imposter), State v. Federal Way Discount Guns (unlawful sale of large capacity magazines), State v. Puppyland (predatory lending), State v. CLA Estate Services, Inc., et al. (financial exploitation of seniors), and State v. LuLaRoe (misrepresentations regarding profitability).</div></div><p></p>
<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Qualifications</b></h2></div>
<p></p><div><p><b>In addition to meeting the requirements to serve as an Assistant Attorney General,</b><b> t</b><b>he ideal candidate must be detail-oriented, creative, have a strong work ethic, and enjoy working within a team-oriented community. A commitment to public service and to becoming a great consumer protection attorney is a must!</b></p><div><b>

Preferred experience:</b></div><ul><li><b>
Experience handling cases involving consumer protection issues; and</b></li><li><b>
Complex litigation experience.</b></li></ul><div></div><div><b><br>
While consumer protection experience would be a strength, the AGO is particularly interested in applications from litigators generally. Attorneys with experience in personal injury or insurance defense litigation, commercial litigation, probate litigation, employment litigation, or other litigation fields are encouraged to apply.</b></div><div></div><div><b><br>
Attorneys who lack the above-listed experience, but who have other experience that they believe would be relevant to the Division&rsquo;s work are also encouraged to apply. The CP Division may waive the need for significant litigation experience for attorneys who have significant experience in the fields of healthcare, privacy, technology, finance, non-profit work or philanthropy, trust and estates, and/or experience serving traditionally marginalized communities.</b></div><br>
