Duties Description The New York State Office of the Attorney General is seeking a talented candidate for the position of Legal Support Analyst (LSA) in the Office of Special Investigation (OSI) in New York City. OSI investigates and prosecutes criminal offenses resulting from incidents in which a police officer or peace officer causes the death of a person. The LSA position provides a unique and exciting opportunity to join a team of experienced felony and homicide prosecutors, legal support staff, and detective investigators who work together to enhance transparency and strengthen public trust in the criminal justice system. The LSA reports to the Downstate Deputy Bureau Chief.

LSAs serve a critical role in the bureau, performing investigative and legal support functions. In the course of investigations, LSAs draft subpoenas, review documents, search law enforcement databases, assist in writing reports, and review case video footage. When a matter has been indicted, LSAs assist in discovery, prepare court exhibits, and aid attorneys in court during proceedings and trials. LSAs also conduct independent research assignments on issues that arise from specific cases in the Bureau. Please note that this is not an attorney position and LSAs do not typically conduct legal research.

Additional Comments The annual salary for this position is $57,420 + $3,026 in location pay. We offer a comprehensive New York State benefits package, including paid leave, health, dental, vision and retirement benefits, and family-friendly policies. Additionally, the OAG offers a robust Workplace Flexibilities Program with multiple options for employees, including telecommuting (up to two days per week) and alternative work schedules.
