Litigation Support Paralegal, Homicide Unit

3 months ago

Brooklyn, United States Brooklyn Defender Services Full time

Brooklyn Defender Services (BDS) seeks experienced professionals with advanced computer, paralegal, and organizational abilities for the position of Litigation Support Paralegal in the Homicide Unit.

BDS is a public defense office representing low-income New Yorkers in criminal, family, immigration, and civil legal matters. Our work with clients is focused on the intersection of the legal systems that disproportionately impact Black and Brown people living below the poverty level in Brooklyn.

BDS represents thousands of people each year who have diverse, complex, and multi-faceted legal needs. In addition to a zealous legal defense, our interdisciplinary teams of attorneys, social workers and advocates provide a wide range of legal and advocacy services, including housing, public benefits, education, and employment issues.

The Homicide Unit utilizes a team approach in the representation of clients, with an attorney, investigator and social worker assigned from the inception of the case who conduct regular team strategizing and information gathering sessions. In addition, the unit as a whole works very closely together in order to take advantage of the wealth of expertise of the unit’s attorneys and staff.

As a member of homicide litigation teams, the Litigation Support Paralegal will be responsible for providing a full range of litigation support services in all aspects of litigation and trial work.

**Responsibilities**:

- Work with attorneys and investigators in all aspects of case preparation, including the discovery phase, evidentiary hearings, trials, and sentencings.
- Serve as a discovery manager to assist homicide litigation teams to best utilize tools for hosting, organizing, managing, reviewing, and analyzing electronic and paper discovery, and for producing case materials for litigation and trial presentation.
- Process, organize, index, and format discovery so that homicide litigation teams can use it for case preparation, hearings, trials, and mitigation.
- Summarize evidence for homicide litigation teams.
- Prepare demonstrative evidence and exhibits for pleadings, hearings, and trials.
- Be “on-call” for last-minute assistance related to hearings, trials, and other case appearances on an occasional basis for cases the paralegal has been working on.
- Additional duties as assigned.

**Qualifications**:

- Detail-oriented multitasker with an aptitude for noticing the intricate or small, creating systems and structures to efficiently advance work, and keeping track of multiple priorities and deadlines at once.
- Vigilance when working with very sensitive and privileged information including the ability to treat such information with the security and care it requires.
- A team player with ability to work effectively in a very fast-paced, high stakes environment.
- Familiarity with any of the software below a plus:

- E-discovery management software (e.g. Everlaw, Relativity)
- Presentation software (e.g. PowerPoint)
- Trial presentation software (e.g. TRIAL DIRECTOR)
- Media player software (e.g. VLC media player)

**Position Information**

This is a full-time, exempt, salaried position. The normal schedule is Monday to Friday 9am-5pm. The position is based at BDS’s offices, and the courts located in Downtown Brooklyn. There is a three-day per week in-person requirement for this position. In addition, the Litigation Support Paralegal will also be expected to be in the office/court during active trials as needed even if that results in additional days in-person.

BDS determines salary on a pay scale based on education and experience. For this position, there is a salary range of $51,880 - $77,880 based on the applicant’s experience and education. BDS also offers comprehensive benefits including health and dental insurance, short-term disability and life insurance, a 403(b)-retirement plan with employer contribution, pre-tax commuter benefit, pre-tax flexible spending accounts, and above-average vacation, sick, holiday, family, and medical leave policies.
