Our boutique litigation firm is adding an in-office staff attorney to our civil rights jail neglect injury/death practice team. Two years of civil litigation experience is required. We represent families of those who die in jails from neglect, abuse, or suicide, as well as those who are catastrophically injured in a jail setting. We file all cases in federal court.

The position also involves critically reviewing and summarizing voluminous evidence (documents, audio recordings, and video recordings).

We offer a friendly, fast-paced environment with benefits. Base annual starting salary is $110,000 to $140,000, plus bonuses when cases resolve, with up to $200,000 or more eventual total yearly potential. If you would like to be part of a hard-working team that is making a difference, this might be your opportunity.

Please upload your resume', a cover letter, a writing sample (10 pages or more with legal citations), your law school transcript (if you graduated in the last 10 years), and your salary requirements. Law review or high class rank preferred if you are a recent law school graduate. A federal judicial clerkship would be a plus.
