Trial Attorney

Civil Rights Division (CRT)
Complaint Adjudication Office
Washington, District of Columbia
Announcement #: 20-ATT-DAT-003
Application Deadline: May 28, 2020

Attorneys with the Complaint Adjudication Office are primarily responsible for writing drafts of Department of Justice Final Decisions in EEO administrative cases. The administrative EEO process begins when a DOJ employee or applicant for employment files an employment discrimination complaint with a DOJ component. The EEO complaint is investigated by the component and, sometimes, depending on the filer's election, the matter is referred to an EEOC Administrative Judge for a hearing. After the investigation (sometimes followed by a hearing) has been completed, the case is sent to the Complaint Adjudication Office for issuance of a Department of Justice decision.

The Office receives a significant number of cases for adjudication every year. Attorneys in the office are expected to thoroughly review the case records, identify the facts germane to the accepted issues, apply the relevant law, and write a clear, smooth draft that is even-handed, addresses the issues fully, and reaches a persuasive conclusion that is grounded in the evidentiary record. Attorneys who perform well are typically those who have a strong ability to organize a large volume of record materials, excellent legal writing skills, an ability to work quickly and consistently when assigned multiple cases, some familiarity with employment discrimination theories including disparate treatment, disparate impact and reasonable accommodation, and, just as importantly, a commitment to consistently write fair, impartial decisions that fully address an employee's discrimination concerns.
