- **This is a two-year term position that is eligible for renewal dependent on continued case filings.**

**POSITION OVERVIEW**
The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois is seeking a Pro Se Law Clerk. The Pro Se Law Clerk principally provides legal research and assistance to the court in connection with prisoner petitions and complaints. Duties and responsibilities include screening prisoner complaints and motions; drafting appropriate recommendations and orders for the court’s review; researching issues raised in complaints; keeping abreast of changes in prison law; advising appropriate court personnel on the status of particular cases; and sometimes attending court hearings. Primary duties involve analysis of procedural and substantive issues in pro se prisoner civil rights and habeas corpus cases. The incumbent will perform other duties as assigned by the Chief Judge.

**Job Requirements and Qualifications**:
The applicant must be a law school graduate; must be a member of a state bar; and have at least one year of legal work experience after receipt of J.D. At least one year of legal experience as a law clerk to an Article III Federal Judge is preferred.

- Person who owes allegiance to the U.S. (i.e., nationals of American Samoa, Swains Island and the Northern Mariana Islands);
- Person admitted as a refugee or granted asylum who has filed a declaration of intention to become a lawful permanent resident and then a citizen when eligible; or
