The No Experience Associate Attorney is an entry-level legal position for recent law graduates with a JD and often pending bar admission, working directly on legal cases. A Paralegal typically holds a paralegal certificate or associate degree and supports attorneys with research, document preparation, and case management. While both roles work in legal environments, the associate attorney role involves more legal responsibilities and potential for client interaction, whereas paralegals focus on supporting legal work without practicing law.

Who we are
Center for Food Safety (CFS)'s mission is to empower people, support farmers, and protect the Earth from the harmful impacts of industrial agriculture. We defend and promote your right to safe food and a clean environment through groundbreaking legal, scientific, and grassroots action.
For over 25 years, we have created a new food future, fostering a more powerful food movement against the harmful industrial agricultural system while promoting organic, ecological, and regenerative alternatives. We've won high-profile lawsuits to protect public health and endangered species from pesticides like Monsanto's Roundup and dicamba.
