Civil Rights Division (CRT)
Appellate Section
Washington, District of Columbia
Announcement #: 21-ATT-APP-001
Application Deadline: March 28, 2021

The Section represents the United States in both civil and criminal civil rights cases in the federal courts of appeals. Many of the Section's cases are appeals from district court judgments in cases originally handled by the Division's trial sections, and the Section works cooperatively with the trial sections in those cases. The Section also monitors federal civil rights cases in which the United States is not a party.

The incumbent, under appropriate supervision, will represent the United States in the enforcement of federal civil rights laws in the United States Courts of Appeals, and will work closely with the Office of the Solicitor General to represent the United States' interests in civil rights cases before the United States Supreme Court. Cases in which the United States is a party may be criminal or civil in nature. The incumbent also will review cases in which the United States is not a party for possible participation as amicus curiae in the courts of appeals and the Supreme Court, and will prepare recommendations for the Office of the Solicitor General. The incumbent will provide legal counsel on civil rights or related legal issues to Division trial sections, Division and Department leadership, and to other federal offices as required. The incumbent also may be called on to assist in trial-level litigation in cases of unusual complexity or importance. The position involves significant legal writing responsibilities, including preparation of internal memoranda, briefs for the courts of appeals, and other court filings.

Civil Rights Division (CRT)
Special Litigation Section
Washington, District of Columbia
Announcement #: 21-ATT-SPL-001
Application Deadline: March 24, 2021

The Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division is seeking one or more experienced attorneys for the position of Trial Attorney to work on complex, pattern or practice investigations, litigation, and enforcement of settlement agreements and remedial orders that affect the constitutional and other federal rights of a substantial number of individuals. These matters are sensitive, of high public interest and often involve working with disadvantaged or disenfranchised groups.

The Trial Attorney will work in one of the Special Litigation Section's four practice groups:

  1.  Police Practices Group: works to protect people's constitutional and other federal rights during law enforcement interactions, including uses of force, and stops, searches, or arrests;
  2.  Corrections Practices Group: works to protect people's constitutional and other federal rights involving conditions and practices in jails and prisons;
  3.  Juvenile Practice Group: works to protect the rights of children and adolescents in the juvenile and criminal justice systems and those confined in juvenile detention and commitment facilities; and
  4.  Disability Practice Group: works to ensure that people with disabilities who are served in the public health system are not subjected to unnecessary institutionalization in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and that their rights are protected in publicly run residential institutions.

The Trial Attorney will be responsible for duties such as, but not limited to: (1) personally handling and leading team members on sensitive and/or complex investigations, litigation, negotiations; monitoring/enforcement of systemic reform; (2) working with the Section's management team to develop and establish strategies and priorities for police misconduct, corrections, juvenile justice, or disability enforcement; (3) working with U.S. Attorney's Offices, DOJ components, and other federal agencies to implement strategies for effective information sharing and case development; and (4) conducting outreach to witnesses, victims, and those who are affected by the Section's work.

The Trial Attorney will be responsible for screening and developing new matters; conducting comprehensive investigations involving onsite observation and inspection, interviews, and work with experts; analyzing data; drafting written recommendations including legal analyses; litigating all aspects of the Section's enforcement cases; and negotiating, monitoring, and enforcing settlement agreements. Litigation associated with these investigations is complex, involving extensive discovery, pretrial motions practice, preliminary injunction hearings, trials, and post judgment enforcement and contempt proceedings. Enforcement of agreements in these cases is also complex, involving extensive negotiation of policy and training, onsite inspections and interviews, and collaboration with a variety of external stakeholders.

Applicants are encouraged to review the Section's website</crt/special-litigation-section>, which contains additional information regarding each practice group.
