Litigation Associate – Education Law

Blankingship & Keith, PC., a civil general practice law firm in Fairfax, seeks a litigation associate to join its Education Law team.  We represent several large, diverse school systems in Northern Virginia and the District in a variety of litigation matters, including special education and disability rights matters, among others. VSB membership and 1-3 years of demonstrated litigation experience, superior legal analysis, writing ability, and courtroom ability required. Education law experience is preferred but not required. Judicial clerkships are a plus.  We offer competitive salaries, a congenial atmosphere, and excellent opportunities for mentorship and professional development.  

For more information or to apply, e-mail a cover letter, resume, and writing sample to Jessica L. Sura, Recruiting Partner, at jsura@bklawva.com.

Blankingship & Keith maintains no set procedure for hiring lawyers, but we are often looking for qualified candidates. We have hired new lawyers through our summer associate program, from clerkships, and by way of lateral moves from the government and from other firms.

We believe that providing hands-on experience is the key to ensuring the professional development of young lawyers, and at Blankingship & Keith that means taking depositions, drafting briefs and transactional documents, arguing in court, and client exposure. The firm attracts lawyers who want those experiences, and it trusts that, with the proper guidance, even its newest lawyers can handle them.

Blankingship & Keith is an equal opportunity employer that hires in conformity with all applicable laws, regardless of age, color, national origin, race, religion, sex, disability, or any other factor prohibited by law.

We enjoy life outside the law through firm picnics with our families, firm fishing expeditions, and bike trips.
