    Position Summary

    The Arizona Court of Appeals, Division One, is accepting applications for a Staff Attorney on its central legal team. Primary duties will be researching and writing legal memoranda and draft decisions in connection with Anders appeals (criminal appeals in which defense counsel avows to the court that, after a conscientious review of the record, they have found no errors or arguable issues to raise). Duties also may include preparing legal memoranda and draft decisions in connection with petitions for post-conviction relief with long-term potential to write draft decisions in direct criminal appeals.

    This is a full-time assignment, exempt position.

    The applicant must be a member in good standing of the State Bar of Arizona and must have excellent research and writing skills, strong academic background, and at least two years of criminal litigation or similar experience. Applicants should be proficient with Microsoft Word and Outlook.

    Selection Process

    Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. Only applicants whose backgrounds most closely meet the needs of the position may be invited to interview. The Selection Process may include first and/or second round panel interviews.

    Requests for special accommodation to participate in the interview process should be made at the time you are contacted to schedule an interview.

    Benefits

    The court offers an excellent benefits package, including a choice of plans for optional medical and dental insurance, deferred compensation, flexible spending accounts, life insurance, long and short-term disability, discounted bus fares, and an employee assistance program. Participation in the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) is required. In addition, the court's leave policy includes ten paid holidays and annual accrual of vacation and sick leave, based on length of service.
