Accordingly, OCR is currently soliciting resumes for a Supervisory General Attorney (Director) (GS-0905-15) for the Program Legal Group located in the Washington, DC Headquarters Office (400 Maryland Avenue SW, 20202, "LBJ Building"). The Director of the Program Legal Group will supervise the work of teams of attorneys and other staff who support OCR's enforcement activities by developing policy guidance, regulations, and technical assistance materials, and consulting on novel cases to ensure that civil rights issues are appropriately addressed within the Department's programs and initiatives and among Federal agencies.
