NO. OF VACANCIES: One (1)
This position is in the collective bargaining unit represented by AFGE Local 1403 and you may be required to pay an agency service fee through direct payroll deduction.
DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES: The Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia is seeking a trial attorney for the Equity Section in the Public Interest Division. The Equity Section defends the District of Columbia in class actions and other major civil lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, focusing on those cases that seek declaratory and injunctive relief.
The successful candidate will defend the District of Columbia and its executive level agencies, officials, and employees in complex constitutional litigation brought against the District challenging its laws, regulations, policies and practices. These cases are high profile and seek injunctive and other declaratory relief, with substantial impact on executive level agencies and their programs and policies. The cases often implicate claims under the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution. The candidate will defend all class action and other systemic challenges to the services, practices, conditions, care provided by District agencies and departments, or challenges to their component operations; civil actions seeking to enjoin enforcement of or otherwise challenge District laws; and civil actions challenging a variety of regulatory actions taken by District agencies. These cases vary from individual to class action complaints and from singular to system-wide challenges. Because the cases often address purported systemic problems with agency programs, practices, and policies, the candidate typically will advise a number of constituent District agencies on matters related to pending litigation or orders awarding permanent injunctive relief. This includes judicial oversight of various consent decrees and other ongoing monitoring of previously entered judicial relief.
The successful candidate will file pleadings, conduct and respond to written and oral discovery, file and respond to dispositive motions, negotiate settlements, advise agency personnel on policies and practices challenged in litigation, and conduct trials and contested hearings. There is substantial contact with client agencies.
The successful candidate must possess strong negotiation, litigation, and analytical skills, as well as excellent legal research, oral and written advocacy skills. The candidate also must have the ability and willingness to manage several complex cases at one time.
ELIGIBILITY: The successful candidate must have a law degree and be an active member in good standing of the bar of any jurisdiction. If not a member of the District of Columbia Bar, the candidate must be sworn into the District of Columbia Bar within 360 days of his/her initial appointment with the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia.

“I loved working at Region III, and found the fellowship to be incredibly rewarding. Working in the Waste and Chemical Law Brach, I was almost immediately responsible for managing numerous enforcement cases as the lead attorney. It is rare to be given so much autonomy and responsibility so early in your legal career, and it was very exciting. I also always knew that, if I needed assistance or advice, I was supported by senior level attorneys with decades of experience to draw upon.

Judiciary Law Clerk

New Jersey Courts

Position Type: Full-time
Geographic Preference: Northeast (ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, RI, NY, NJ, PA)
Description: POSITION DESCRIPTION
Start your legal career in a court system recognized as one of the best in the nation and enhance your future career prospects. Professional law clerk positions are available in the New Jersey Judiciary for individuals with strong communication and analytical skills. Supreme Court law clerks work with justices on complex cases involving difficult issues of law. Appellate Division law clerks conduct research, analyze legal data, prepare legal memoranda, process emergent motion applications, and proofread published opinions. Law clerks for assignment judges learn all aspects of court administration and assist with processing emergent motions. Trial court law clerks gain practical experience while gaining valuable insight into the judicial process. Under the direction of one or more judges over the course of the year, trial court law clerks observe judicial proceedings, attend conferences with attorneys and judges, receive training in mediation and mediate small claims cases and summarize information for judges. Tax Court law clerks perform duties similar to those assigned to law clerks in the Appellate Division and trial courts, but do not mediate cases.
NOTE: Law clerks may hold outside employment with prior approval as provided in the Code of Conduct for Judiciary Employees. The Code is available online at http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/rules/appemploy.htm.
REQUIREMENTS
EDUCATION: Law clerks must have graduated from a law school approved by the American Bar Association by the time of their law clerk appointment. The Judiciary’s law clerkship program is intended for recent law school graduates who have not yet engaged in the practice of law. Selected candidates will be required to provide an official, final law school transcript, not a photocopy, which includes the date of graduation from their law school at the time of hire. Excellent writing and analytical skills are essential.
MEDIATION TRAINING: It is helpful to have completed a course in mediation prior to the start of the clerkship. Under Court Rule, all trial court law clerks who will serve as mediators must first complete the Judiciary sponsored 12-hour mediation training or its equivalent. Applicants selected for clerkships can request a waiver from attending the Judiciary’s training program at the start of the court term by providing documentation that confirms that they successfully completed an approved alternative dispute resolution course.
DRIVER’S LICENSE: Appointee will be required to possess a driver's license valid in New Jersey only if the operation of a vehicle, rather than employee mobility, is necessary to perform essential duties of the position.
SPECIAL NOTE: Individuals selected for clerkships must agree to a thorough background check, which will include fingerprinting. All data received will be kept in the strictest confidence except to inform the individual of the findings and what action will be taken as a result of this information.
AUTHORIZATION TO WORK: US citizenship is not required. Selected candidate must be authorized to work in the US according to Department of Homeland Security, US Citizenship and Immigration Services regulations.
RESIDENCY LAW: Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:14-7 (L. 2011, Chapter 70), also known as the “New Jersey First Act,” all persons newly hired by the Judiciary must establish, and then maintain, principal residence in the State of New Jersey. Law clerks are not subject to the residency law during their 53 week term. Additionally, law clerks who serve a second clerkship in a higher court are exempt from the residency requirement. Clerks who anticipate moving into another state position immediately following their clerkship(s) must be mindful that, upon conclusion of their clerkship term, they will need to be New Jersey residents.
INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS
Approximately 480 clerkships are available. Of those, a limited number of clerkships exist for the Supreme Court, Superior Court Appellate Division, Superior Court Assignment Judges, Superior Court Chancery Division in general equity court, and in the Tax Court. Applicants interested in those positions should apply early during the hiring process. Most openings exist in the Superior Court Law Division in civil and criminal court, and Superior Court Chancery Division in family court. For additional information see the Judiciary’s website at www.judiciary.state.nj.us/lawclerks. Minorities, women, individuals with disabilities and other protected class members are encouraged to apply.
NOTE: Individuals who have served or are currently serving a trial court or Tax Court clerkshipmay be eligible to serve an additional one- year clerkship in the Appellate Division or Supreme Court.
HOW TO APPLY
There are two ways to apply for a clerkship. Applicants are encouraged to apply early as indicated below.
Applicants may send a cover letter and resume directly to individual justices and judges. These documents should include the month and year the juris doctor degree will be awarded and any specific area of interest of law.
