Salary is $54,576 to $77,688 per year, depending on experience. Generous leave and benefits package, including partial reimbursement of relocation expenses, is available.

A background in public interest law is preferred but not required. Applicants should either be admitted to practice law in Alaska or admitted to practice in another state and eligible for an Alaska Bar Rule 43 Waiver.
