    Job Description

    Research sharp arguments. Write briefs that win. Build a career in appellate law.

    At JSH, appellate attorneys don't just draft memos in the background or occasionally handle infrequent appeals - they shape the arguments that go before the courts, working closely with trial teams from case strategy through final appeal. If you clerked at the appellate level and want to keep sharpening that craft while also getting real courtroom experience, this is that opportunity.

    We’re one of the largest and most experienced trial and appellate firms in the Southwest and trusted by major carriers across the region. Our Appellate practice is growing, and we're looking for a highly motivated attorney with appellate-level judicial clerkship experience to join a team known for developing exceptional writers and oral advocates alike.

    What sets JSH apart:

    • Real appellate work paired with the opportunity to handle complex motion practice     
    • Mentorship program + structured new lawyer training + in-house CLE
    • Clear, transparent six-year path to partnership
    • Transparent bonus structure on top of a competitive base salary
    • Flexible work-from-home policy and a collaborative, supportive environment

    What we’re looking for:

    • Utah Bar member in good standing
    • 1+ years of appellate-level judicial clerkship experience (state or federal); prior clerkship experience in Utah preferred
    • Exceptional research, analytical, and writing skills
    • Excellent academic credentials and a strong desire to provide exceptional client service

    The bottom line: Good pay, full benefits, and a firm that will invest in making you an appellate attorney.
