Applicants with at least three years of legal experience after law school are preferred.
To apply, please upload your cover letter, resume, writing sample and a list of three references with contact information as one document under “resume.”
After the completion of orientation, attorneys hired by the Law Department will have the opportunity to elect to work from home under one of the following two programs. The first option allows attorneys to work remotely on a limited and irregular basis. The second option is a Citywide pilot program, which allows participants to select two set days to work from home each week. The two days will need to be approved by the attorney’s division and take into consideration the needs of the division, as the pilot program requires more than 50% staff coverage each day. In addition, if an attorney needs to appear in court, a client meeting or other in-person work related event on a set work from home day, they will need to attend to those in-person responsibilities and will not be able to work from home that day. Participants in the pilot program must set one work from home location where they will work remotely. This pilot program is currently being tested Citywide to determine its efficacy for City agencies and is not yet a permanent program.
Minimum Qualifications
Applicants must be a graduate of an ABA accredited law school with at least one year of legal experience. Applicants must be admitted and in good standing in New York State. Preference will be given to applicants with legislative drafting experience, and strong legal analysis and writing skills.
Preferred Skills
Applicants with at least three years of legal experience after law school are preferred.
