Description

At Morgan & Morgan, the work we do matters. For millions of Americans, we're their last line of defense against insurance companies, large corporations or defective goods.

As a Federal Brief Writer in the Mass Tort Law & Briefing Group, you will report directly to the Chair of the group and work alongside a team of sharp, high-caliber brief writers and appellate lawyers.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

  • Drafting motions, briefs, and appeals across active federal and state class action and MDL dockets
  • Conducting deep-dive legal research that requires genuine intellectual rigor
  • Analyzing complex procedural and substantive federal issues across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously
  • Collaborating closely with senior attorneys on litigation strategy and argument development
  • Contributing to a practice group that is growing and doing work that sets precedent

To be successful in this role, you should have:

  • Moot court experience, which demonstrates your ability to construct and defend an argument under pressure
  • Demonstrated drafting experience through internships, externships, or clinic work
  • Law Review or other research-intensive academic work, which shows your ability to synthesize complex material quickly and precisely
  • Federal clerkship experience or state-level appellate clerkship experience is valued

We are hiring for two specific associate tracks:

  • Summer 2027 Associate: open to current 2L students (rising 3Ls)
  • Fall 2027 Associate: open to current 3L students and current federal law clerks

Morgan & Morgan offers an excellent benefits package, including medical and dental insurance, 401(k) plan, paid time off, and paid holidays.
