Title: Volunteer Legal Researcher — Federal Legislative Package
Organization: Evergreen Movement
Location: Remote
Commitment: 5–10 hrs/week, flexible, 3–6 month minimum
About Us
Evergreen Movement is a Massachusetts 501(c)(3) nonprofit working at the intersection of environmental education and policy advocacy. Our two flagship programs are an environmental responsibility curriculum for grades 6–8 and The Seven, a seven-bill federal legislative package addressing consumer protection, democratic integrity, housing and addiction, and environmental restoration.
The Role
We're looking for a volunteer Legal Researcher to support the ongoing legal review of The Seven. This is substantive research work — not filing or administrative support.
What You'll Do
- Research constitutional questions raised by the bills, including Speech or Debate, federalism, and Spending Clause issues
- Analyze statutory conflicts with existing federal law
- Track case law relevant to the package's provisions
- Review draft language for legal vulnerability and propose fixes
- Produce short written memos summarizing findings
What We're Looking For
- Legal research experience — law student, paralegal, or attorney
- Strong writing and citation skills
- Ability to work independently and meet agreed timelines
- Interest in public interest, constitutional, or policy work
What We Offer
- A real, substantive portfolio piece — your review shapes legislation
- Credit in the bill changelog and project records
- Flexible remote schedule
- Direct collaboration with the Executive Director
