Post Graduate Volunteer The candidate will work on interesting cases with an unusually high degree of responsibility and independence. In the General Litigation Division, new attorneys manage caseloads that require practice in multiple forums and span a wide range of legal issues. New attorneys litigate State administrative proceedings, State court actions and State court Article 78 proceedings (defending challenges to final administrative determinations), as well as federal court actions. Attorneys develop case strategies with their supervisors and other senior attorneys in the Division, but ultimately are responsible for handling their own cases on a day-to-day basis. Within their first year in the Division, attorneys may expect to argue motions in state and federal court, conduct depositions and other discovery activities, engage in settlement negotiations, and work with city agencies on compliance with statutes and court orders. In a typical day, a first-year attorney might argue against an order to compel a City agency to produce documents in a criminal proceeding, conduct representation interviews for a case involving alleged unconstitutional conditions of confinement at a City jail, and prepare for an upcoming oral argument on special education rights in federal court.
Should include a cover letter, resume, writing sample, and law school transcript.
