Washington, United States US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Full time

**Duties**:
The Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ) is an administrative law court located within the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). FERC regulates all interstate aspects of the national energy industry.

Law clerks serve for two-year terms, and are assigned to 1-2 judges, depending on office needs. Although each judge’s needs may vary, the law clerk will often work closely with the assigned judge in drafting orders and decisions on complex issues in energy law, among many other matters. While clerks work with judges on foundational energy law questions, the vibrant field of energy regulation also requires clerks to gain familiarity with legal questions of all sorts, such as administrative, environmental, corporate, corporate finance, contract, tort, tax, securities, antitrust, evidence, and much more. Law clerks will often independently conduct legal and factual research, advise the judge verbally and in-person, and prepare draft decisions, orders, or memos for the judge's review. To provide this assistance, the law clerks will sometimes work with energy industry analysts and other in-house experts to gain technical knowledge. Law clerks will also have the opportunity to sit in, and assist with, trials, oral arguments and mediations, and act as the judge's primary communicator with participants.

As a Law Clerk, some of your typical work assignments may include:

- Analyzing data, information and legal argument to understand and evaluate competing views, helping plan strategies, helping create constructive solutions to aid the administrative law judge in reaching a reasoned decision.
- Presenting and explaining concepts and information in writing, supports conclusions with legal authority. Presenting and explaining concepts and information orally, supports conclusions with logic, policy, and legal authorities.
- Addressing inquiries from internal and external customers on OALJ activities of all levels of complexity and either responding to the request or directing customers to the appropriate staff or external entities where the matter can be addressed more appropriately in another forum.
- Working independently or with others to plan and complete assignments, simultaneously handling multiple assignments, anticipating workload and planning accordingly, and directing others or receiving direction in a team setting.
