Job o' the Day: Environmental law and a taste of the South

The Southern Environmental Law Center is happy to announce that it is opening an office in Nashville, Tennessee and is hiring a Managing Attorney. The office initially will be staffed with three attorneys. This is a rare opportunity to join one of the nation’s most effective environmental organizations, and to lead a new office in addressing a broad range of important and challenging environmental issues.

About SELC and the Nashville Office: With offices across the region, SELC uses law and policy expertise to protect the South’s natural resources, its land, air, water, coast and wetlands and to preserve our rural countryside and community character. Although our regional focus is the Southeast, much of our work is national in scope and impact.

Our approach is unique and successful. We work in Congress and state legislatures to inform environmental law; in regulatory agencies to implement environmental laws and policies; and in the courts to stop the worst abuses of southern resources and set precedents to ensure their lasting protection. SELC works collaboratively with over 100 national, state, and local groups to enhance their efficacy and achieve our common conservation goals. Our legal and policy staff comprises some of the nation?s leading experts in their respective fields, and over its 25-year history, SELC has earned a reputation as one of the most effective environmental organizations in the country. We currently have a staff of 85, including 44 attorneys. Additional information regarding our work and staff is available at www.southernenvironment.org.
