Position: Public Interest Law (Civil Law / Environmental Law)
Type: Contract
Compensation: $90–$100/hour

Role Responsibilities

  • Construct scenarios spanning civil rights litigation, environmental compliance, and community advocacy or policy reform processes.
  • Build tasks across civil rights, constitutional law, environmental law, housing and consumer protection, immigration, and government accountability.

  • Apply public interest law methodologies to standards in US federal civil rights statutes, NEPA, environmental statutes, and international human rights treaties.
