Generally, each semester The Firm hires between one
and three law clerks to work part-time or full-time. We also hire
several summer associates each summer. We have had law clerks and
summer associates receive externship credit from their law school;
placed as part of a law school co-op program; or come with scholarship
funding from the Equal Justice Foundation, Public Interest Law Foundation
or other sources. In other cases, we pay law clerks and summer associates
based on a public interest pay scale. Specific openings for which
we are considering candidates at this time are indicated below.
ATTORNEY POSITION JOB ANNOUNCEMENT
We are currently seeking to hire an associate with
three to five years of litigation experience. Candidates for the
associate position must have excellent legal writing, research,
and oral advocacy skills. While some background in any of the firm's
areas of concentration is preferred, we are primarily interested
in hiring someone who can immediately handle all aspects of a diverse
litigation caseload, does not require extensive supervision, is
resourceful, innovative, and productive, and will be a strong advocate
for our clients.
The salary will be determined based on the level of experience,
and will be on a par with the salary scale of other public-interest
organizations in Washington. Health insurance will also be provided.
Applicants should mail a cover letter, resume, short writing sample,
and list of references to Howard Crystal at Meyer Glitzenstein &
Crystal, Suite 700, 1601 Connecticut Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C.

LAW CLERK JOB ANNOUNCEMENT
We are accepting applications for 2L and 3L Law Clerks for the
2008 fall semester, either full or part-time. Law Clerks assist
with all aspects of litigation and, depending on the firm's case
load, will likely have the opportunity to work on a range of issues,
including animal welfare, environmental protection, and open government.
Law Clerks typically arrange for public interest funding, or alternatively,
class credit. Those Law Clerks with only partial or no funding may
be compensated on a public interest pay scale commensurate with
the nature of our practice.
Excellent research, writing, and analytical skills are required.
Environmental and/or animal law background is preferable, although
not required. To apply, please mail a cover letter, resume, transcript,
three references, and a short writing sample (approximately five
pages) to Delcianna Winders, Meyer Glitzenstein & Crystal, 1601
Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Suite 700, Washington, D.C. 20009-1035.
