Boston, Massachusetts, United States Department Of Labor Full time
Position Overview:
This role is situated within a bargaining unit.

Work Requirements:
  • Mandatory onsite presence for a minimum of five days within a two-week pay cycle.

The incumbent will independently assess assigned cases to ensure the completeness of the briefing schedule, verify the absence of pending motions, and confirm that all pertinent documents necessary for the appeal's resolution are included in the case record.

Extensive research on statutes, regulations, judicial decisions, legislative history, and other legal sources will be conducted to analyze the legal points involved, providing a coherent examination of each case, addressing relevant issues and evidence.

The role involves advising the Board, utilizing existing precedents, or logically applying statutory construction rules to formulate a reasoned analysis of the factual or legal questions presented.

Support for oral arguments in unique cases where parties present before the Board may be required; recommendations to the Board will be made through written memoranda or outlines discussed during oral presentations; drafting of written decisions and orders will align with the Board Members' instructions and votes; assistance in preparing dissenting or concurring opinions, particularly in complex cases, may also be necessary; revisions of decisions and orders will be executed as directed, culminating in a final decision and order for Board approval and signature.

The incumbent will mentor junior attorney staff, providing guidance in case development and processing, as well as in drafting memoranda and decisions; a technical review of lower-grade attorney work products may be performed to ensure final decisions are formatted correctly and devoid of typographical errors.

Coordination of work or project assignments, monitoring ongoing case work, identifying and resolving potential issues that could hinder case completion, and reviewing the final outputs of the group to ensure legal quality and consistency with policy are essential functions.

Acting as a liaison to the Clerk's Office, the incumbent will provide legal insights and advice to assist in preparing cases for processing.

Maintaining accurate records of case assignments, due dates, and other relevant information is crucial for ensuring timely case assignment and processing.

On an ongoing basis, the appropriate classification (Type I, II, or III) for cases referred to the Office of General Counsel will be determined, assessing cases based on complexity, novelty, the number of issues presented, and the estimated time required for drafting decisions or orders.

Alerting the Associate General Counsel to potential complex or novel issues is necessary, along with assigning cases to staff attorneys to ensure timely resolution.

Guidance and instruction will be provided to newly assigned attorneys regarding style, critical legal points, precedents, and general Board policy.

Special projects may be assigned, including the development, compilation, or revision of policy and procedural directives, instructional materials for legal research references, and staff training aids.
