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 Special Investigations and Prosecutions Unit in New York City. The Special Investigations and Prosecutions Unit was created in July 2015 in response to the issuance of an Executive Order by the Governor of the State of New York appointing the Attorney General as a special prosecutor “to investigate, and if warranted, prosecute certain matters involving the death of an unarmed civilian . . . caused by a law enforcement officer” and where “there is a significant question as to whether the civilian was armed and dangerous at the time of death.”
LSAs serve a critical role in the bureau and perform both investigative and paralegal functions. Specifically, LSAs are responsible for conducting investigative assignments such as drafting subpoenas, reviewing documents, searching law enforcement databases, analyzing phone records, and monitoring electronic surveillance. In addition, LSAs perform legal support tasks, such as processing documents to be turned over during discovery, preparing demonstrative exhibits, aiding Assistant Attorneys General in court proceedings, and testifying in the grand jury and at trial. Lastly, LSAs also conduct independent research assignments on issues that arise from specific cases in the docket. Please note that this is not an attorney position and LSAs do not typically conduct legal research.
