What are some common challenges faced by Impact Litigation Attorneys when working on high-profile cases?

Impact Litigation Attorneys often encounter challenges such as managing large volumes of complex evidence, navigating intense public scrutiny, and coordinating with advocacy groups or affected communities. They must balance strategic legal arguments with broader social or policy goals, which can require significant collaboration across interdisciplinary teams. Additionally, the lengthy nature of impact litigation can demand perseverance and adaptability, as cases may span several years and involve evolving legal landscapes.

What are Impact Litigation Attorneys?

Impact Litigation Attorneys are lawyers who focus on cases that have the potential to create significant legal or social change, often beyond the interests of a single client. They use strategic lawsuits to challenge unjust laws, policies, or practices, typically in areas like civil rights, environmental justice, or public interest. Their work often involves complex legal research, coalition building, and advocacy to create lasting change through the court system.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Impact Litigation Attorney, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Impact Litigation Attorney, you need strong legal research, analytical, and writing skills, typically supported by a Juris Doctor (JD) degree and bar admission. Familiarity with legal research databases (such as Westlaw or LexisNexis), case management systems, and sometimes specialized certifications in civil rights or public interest law are highly valuable. Outstanding oral advocacy, strategic thinking, and a passion for social justice help attorneys excel in this role. These skills and qualities are crucial for effectively challenging systemic issues, advocating for marginalized communities, and driving meaningful legal and policy change.

What is the difference between Impact Litigation Attorney vs Civil Litigation Attorney?

AspectImpact Litigation AttorneyCivil Litigation Attorney
CredentialsJurisdiction-specific law degree, bar admission, specialized knowledge in impact casesJurisdiction-specific law degree, bar admission, broad civil law expertise
Work EnvironmentNonprofit organizations, advocacy groups, law firms focusing on social impactLaw firms, corporate legal departments, government agencies
Industry UsageUsed in social justice, environmental, and human rights sectorsCommon across various sectors including corporate, personal injury, and contract law

Impact Litigation Attorneys focus on cases that promote social change and often work with advocacy groups, whereas Civil Litigation Attorneys handle a broader range of civil disputes. Both roles require legal credentials and involve courtroom work, but Impact Litigation Attorneys specialize in cases with societal impact.

Job description

Impact Litigation Staff Attorney
Location: Tulsa, OK, 74126
Overview
Still She Rises, Inc. (SSR) provides free legal representation to pregnant women, women with children, and women who are child caregivers. Our direct-services legal representation focuses on defending clients who are navigating criminal, child welfare, housing, and economic justice systems. Our work is grounded in client-centered, innovative, and holistic legal representation.
Founded in North Tulsa, Still She Rises honors the dignity of the women we serve by championing our clients’ individual goals while also challenging the systemic issues that impact their lives, families, and communities.
The Impact Litigation Practice advances this mission by using litigation, legal strategy, policy analysis, and collaborative advocacy to address widespread harms caused by the systems our clients face. The practice works to create broader change beyond individual cases, while remaining closely connected to the lived experiences and legal needs of SSR’s clients.
Still She Rises seeks a highly motivated attorney with a demonstrated commitment to indigent defense, civil rights, racial justice, and systemic advocacy to join the Impact Litigation Practice.
About the Role
The Attorney in the Impact Litigation Practice will work closely with the Director of Impact Litigation to identify, develop, and pursue litigation and legal strategies aimed at achieving systemic change. This role is responsible for supporting affirmative and defensive litigation that has the potential to create broad impact for SSR’s client population and the communities we serve.
This position requires strong legal research and writing skills, strategic thinking, creativity, sound judgment, and a commitment to collaborative advocacy. The Impact Litigation Attorney will help develop legal theories, draft pleadings and briefs, participate in litigation strategy, support amicus and legislative analysis efforts, and collaborate with attorneys, advocates, and investigators across SSR’s practice areas.
The role is both externally and internally facing. Externally, the attorney may work with local and national partners, co-counsel, community organizations, and law firms. Internally, the attorney will serve as a strategic resource to SSR’s direct-services teams by helping identify recurring legal issues, develop arguments and resources, and support training on complex or systemic legal questions.
Responsibilities
  • Working closely with the Director of Impact Litigation to develop and pursue creative litigation strategies designed to achieve systemic change.
  • Engaging in all stages of developing and litigating affirmative, complex civil rights cases in federal and state court, including:
    • Identifying patterns, recurring legal issues, and systemic barriers arising from SSR’s direct-services work.
    • Supporting case investigation, factual development, legal theory development, and litigation strategy.
    • Conducting legal research; drafting pleadings, motions, briefs, memoranda, discovery, public records requests, and other litigation materials; delivering oral arguments; and conducting hearings, trials, and appeals.
    • Representing individual clients in affirmative or defensive litigation where the outcome may have a broader impact on SSR’s client population.
  • Collaborating with SSR attorneys, advocates, investigators, and other team members across practice areas to develop legal arguments and strategies for deployment by direct-services colleagues facing complex or frequently occurring issues.
  • Developing trainings, written resources, practice guides, or other tools to support SSR’s direct-services legal teams.
  • Leading or contributing to amicus efforts locally and nationally.
  • Analyzing and consulting on pending state legislation, policy proposals, or other legal developments that may impact SSR’s clients and communities.
  • Building and maintaining collaborative relationships with local and national advocacy organizations, law firms, community partners, and co-counsel.
  • Participating in internal practice meetings, case strategy discussions, and organizational efforts connected to SSR’s broader mission and values.
  • Maintaining high standards of professionalism, ethics, confidentiality, and client-centered advocacy.
  • Performing other related duties as assigned.
Qualifications
To be eligible, applicants must have:
  • J.D. from an American Bar Association-accredited law school.
  • Membership in good standing with the Oklahoma Bar or eligibility for admission to the Oklahoma Bar.
Successful applicants will demonstrate:
  • Excellent research, writing, analytical, and oral advocacy skills.
  • Familiarity with constitutional law, civil rights law, and/or complex litigation.
  • Strong legal judgment and the ability to think creatively about litigation and systemic advocacy.
  • Self-motivation, with the ability and desire to work both independently and under supervision.
  • Ability and desire to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams.
  • Commitment to client-centered, holistic, and trauma-informed advocacy.
  • Enthusiasm and aptitude for working in and with racially and socioeconomically oppressed communities.
  • Commitment to indigent defense, racial justice, gender justice, and systemic change.
Applicants, if hired, must:
  • Provide proof of Oklahoma State Bar membership in good standing; or
  • Sit for the Oklahoma State Bar Examination; or
  • Submit the appropriate materials necessary for admission by waiver.
Compensation: $74,000 annually (salary exempt), plus medical, dental, vision, life insurance, FSA, and a 401(k) with a 4% employer contribution. Generous PTO and a supportive supervision structure are provided to support sustainability in this work.
