  • Engage in mentorship and support a culture of learning among staff.
  • Promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workplace.

  • Juris Doctorate (JD) from an ABA-accredited institution.
  • For Senior Attorney: Minimum of six years of relevant litigation experience; for Supervising Senior Attorney: Minimum of eight years.
  • Admission or eligibility for admission to the Illinois Bar.
  • Expertise in environmental and administrative law.
  • Strong communication skills for conveying advocacy goals.
  • Excellent legal research, writing, and oral advocacy abilities.
  • Demonstrated initiative and a strong work ethic.
  • Experience in mentoring junior staff is preferred.
  • Awareness of diverse cultural perspectives and sensitivity to various community needs.
