Please use as much detail as needed, giving dates (months and years) of the experience, position title and how the experience was gained. This information is needed to determine if you are qualified for the position. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Attorneys search case reports, legal documents, periodicals, and textbooks, and prepare drafts of letters, memorandums, and legal documents for use by higher-level attorneys. Assignments, while still developmental, involve complex and difficult legal questions requiring extensive research, analysis, and evaluation of information in controversial areas. Cases have an important impact on major public and private interests, such as cases concerning a major extension or revision in a grant program or a substantial question on civil rights. Cases are vigorously contested by capable legal talent, as in a contracts dispute case. In cases of this scope, attorneys prepare drafts of pleadings and motions in connection with cases in litigation and conduct investigations to obtain facts, study legal precedents, and prepare recommendations while assisting attorneys in charge of court cases by cross-examining witnesses and by drafting findings of fact, conclusions of law, and orders based upon the record. Assignments involve extremely complex and difficult legal questions requiring extensive research, analysis, and evaluation of information in controversial scientific, financial, corporate, medical engineering, or other highly technical areas. Cases have an important impact on major private or public interests, such as cases concerning a major extension or revision in a grant program or a substantial question on civil rights. Interest in these cases is usually nationwide. Attorneys are entrusted with the initial preparation of proposed solutions to projects. They conduct investigations to obtain facts, study legal precedents, make recommendations, and prepare necessary documents. They receive preliminary instructions, their commitment authority is limited, and their completed written work is carefully reviewed.
