Our legal and policy staff comprises some of the nation’s leading experts in their respective fields, and over its 28-year history SELC has earned a reputation as one of the most effective environmental organizations in the country.   We currently have a staff of over 100, including 56 attorneys.  Additional information regarding our work and staff is available at www.southernenvironment.org.

Interested persons should apply now.
To Apply: If you have these qualifications and are seeking one of the most interesting, challenging, and rewarding environmental advocacy positions available, please send your letter of interest, resume, law school transcript (with date of birth and social security number redacted), and at least three references to Lori Cates atGAjobs@selcva.orgPLEASE INCLUDE “GA ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY APPLICATION” IN THE SUBJECT LINE.

Super nice share. I liked it a lot. If any candidate wants to retake the LSAT in next year then they must have a look at the Best LSAT Courses. These courses will prepare them to pass the test with good scores. I also joined Testmaxprep course and got wonderful score.
