The candidate will work on interesting cases with an unusually high degree of responsibility and independence. New attorneys draft briefs, affidavits, and other legal papers for State and federal environmental litigation, under the supervision of senior attorneys. New attorneys also attend court conferences and hearings, and may argue motions in court. Administrative proceedings before the Environmental Control Board are handled by new attorneys, with minimal supervision from senior attorneys. In addition, new attorneys help counsel client agencies on regulatory compliance and participate in complex negotiations with state and federal regulatory agencies by conducting legal and factual research; drafting and reviewing correspondence; and assisting in managing and coordinating agency action. Finally, new attorneys may also assist in various other types of matters, such as intra- and inter-agency policy negotiations, commenting on proposed federal or State regulations, or management of the City’s potential Superfund liabilities.

Should include a cover letter, resume, writing sample, and law school transcript.
