Minimum Qualifications Applicants must have a BA or BS degree prior to their start date. Excellent oral and written communication skills, hyper-attention to detail (e.g., proofreading and document production), organizational skills, and the ability to handle multiple tasks under pressure are required. Experience in a legal setting is a plus, but not required as a Fellow will receive extensive training. Availability for weekday overtime is required.

The annual salary for this position is $57,420 + $3,026 in location pay. As an employee of the OAG, you will join a team of dedicated individuals who work to serve the people of our State through a wide variety of occupations. 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.

Duties Description The Office of the New York State Attorney General’s Division of Appeals and Opinions is offering a two-year Fellowship in government appellate litigation in its New York City office. One Fellowship is available. The Fellowship is a compensated, full-time position for a college graduate who is considering whether to pursue a career in law or public affairs. A commitment through June 2025 is required.

The Division of Appeals and Opinions handles civil appeals by and against the State of New York in all state and federal appellate courts, and prepares briefs for an active amicus curiae practice nationwide. Cases cover a wide range of issues, including constitutional and statutory public-law issues, employment, civil rights, torts, the environment, and agency decision making. We are seeking a bright, dynamic, hard-working, and motivated individual committed to public service. The selected Fellow will work closely with attorneys to prepare court documents and appellate records; finalize briefs, including highly detailed proofreading and cite-checking; organize case files; provide relevant legal and office support; and potentially work on special projects for the Division.

Additional Comments Per Office of the Attorney General policy, confirmation of vaccination status is a condition of employment for this position. If you are not fully vaccinated, you may be required to provide regular negative COVID-19 PCR test results at a frequency determined by the agency. The agency will consider religious and reasonable accommodations. For more information, please contact recruitment@ag.ny.gov.
