    This is supervisory, professional work in the Office of Senate Chief Counsel for Employment. Serve

    in defending offices of Senators, the Office of the Vice President, Senate Committees, and other Senate
    employing offices throughout the country in employment law cases from the inception of the case
    through Supreme Court review.
    Research complex legal issues and write accurate, persuasive legal memoranda and briefs.
    Provide timely and accurate legal advice to Senators, the Office of the Vice President, Chiefs of Staff,
    Administrative Directors, Senate Officers, and other Senate managers regarding employment law
    issues.
    Maintain current, accurate knowledge of employment law cases and statutes, identifying how new cases
    and laws modify existing law applicable to the Senate.
    Develop, prepare, and conduct seminars regarding employment-related legal issues; prepare and
    present oral and written reference materials and audio-visual materials for seminar participants.
    Supervise work of second-chair counsel, litigation secretary and paralegal.
    Prepare legal newsletters, website content, memoranda, policies, and forms to keep clients informed of
    and in compliance with existing laws.
    Maintain current knowledge of the Senate Chief Counsel for Employment Office's Emergency Action
    Plan (EAP) and Continuity of Operations (COOP) plan; participate in periodic exercises and drills.
    As part of the Secretary's customer service initiative (known as R.A.T.E.); provide all customers with
    the highest level of customer service. Perform other duties as assigned.
