Job Description
The Law Department is seeking applicants for an Assistant Corporation Counsel position in its Appeals Division. The Appeals Division handles appeals originating from nearly all of the Law Departments litigating divisions and prepares amicus briefs in cases implicating the Citys interests. Our attorneys appear before federal and state appellate courts and are responsible for briefing and arguing appeals in an array of cases, from routine litigation arising out of the governance of a municipality with more than eight million residents to complex appeals involving cutting-edge legal questions and critical public policy issues.

Working independently and collaboratively with supervisors, trial attorneys, client agencies, and executive staff, you will brief and argue a significant number of appeals every year.
To apply, please submit your cover letter, resume, writing sample and the contact information for three professional references.
