You: An entrepreneurial freedom fighter with a passion for property rights in courtrooms across the nation. You work with experienced attorneys to find and win cutting-edge property rights cases in trial and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. You work as a part of a collaborative team, but are also self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision. You are eager to learn, relentless, and a focused professional.
Them: Bureaucrats, city councils, mayors, governors, and federal agencies stripping Americans of their rights every day. There’s a lot of government overreach out there against the little guys, backed by seemingly endless resources. But fortunately, abusive government is most vulnerable when countered by individuals who act strategically and nimbly, take calculated risks, have each other’s backs, and are confident in, and passionate for, the cause—the very sort of property rights swashbucklers here at PLF.
Us: We fight back. Pacific Legal Foundation is the nation’s first and most successful public interest law firm dedicated to vindicating individual liberty and protecting the fundamental right to property as the “guardian of every other right.” PLF has an unmatched record in the United States Supreme Court, with 18 victories in the Court. We also are actively litigating more than a hundred cases in trial and appellate courtrooms across the country.
We are a next-generation public interest law firm. What does “next-generation” mean for a legal nonprofit? It means we aren’t interested in doing the same thing as everyone else. We aspire to be the best player in a constantly changing game.

You will help find and win the next important property rights case, with the goal of becoming recognized as a nationwide leader in property rights litigation. You will also occasionally have opportunities to speak at conferences or with the media about your cases or important property rights issues.
You will be a key contributor to PLF’s Property Rights practice group. You will work in teams with your fellow lawyers, growing in your expertise and knowledge and elevating the team’s efforts to defend the right to own, keep, and use private property. You will have the latitude to think big and the resources to execute. At PLF, you will be at the forefront of shaping property rights for all Americans.
In a nutshell, we’re seeking someone who’s passionate about liberty and property rights, someone who is magnanimous, and someone who is a bold and relentless freedom fighter.
