Legal Impact for Chickens seeks a Litigator

About the role:

You will be an integral part of LIC. You’ll help shape our organization’s future.

Your role will be a combination of (1) designing and pursuing creative impact litigation for animals, and (2) helping with everything else we need to do, to run this new nonprofit!

Sometimes you’ll pitch in on administrative tasks, making sure a brief gets filed properly or formatting a table of authorities. Sometimes you’ll wear a start-up founder’s hat, helping plan the number of employees we need, or representing LIC at conferences. We can only promise it won’t be dull!

This job offers tremendous opportunity for advancement, in the form of helping to lead LIC as we grow. 

The hope is for you to become an indispensable, long-time member of our new team. 

Commitment: Full time

Location and travel: This is a remote, U.S.-based position. You must be available to travel for work as needed, since we will litigate all over the country.
