    Assistant Attorney General, Attorney II Workers' Comp 60015056 - Raleigh, United States - State of North Carolina

    Default job background
    Description
    Not sure you meet all listed requirements? Let our team take a look.

    Research shows that women and members of other under-represented groups tend to not apply to jobs when they think they may not meet every qualification.

    We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and strongly encourage you to apply.

    This position is part of the team of attorneys representing State agencies in Workers' Compensation claims.


    This attorney acts as defense counsel for the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and other agencies of the State as needed, in legal actions brought pursuant to the Workers' Compensation Act in the North Carolina Industrial Commission, state and federal courts.


    Cases include issues from physical injury to psychological problems which may leave the State exposed to liability for years of expensive medical treatment and wage loss, vocational rehabilitation and permanent injury resulting in enormous costs to the employer for extended periods of time.

    This attorney will handle medium complexity cases with minimal supervision.

    The attorney will also be responsible for handling criminal appeals, and any other duties as assigned by the Section Head.

    This position involves extensive litigation and some in-state travel.


    The North Carolina Department of Justice, led by the Attorney General of North Carolina, represents the State of North Carolina in court and provides legal advice and representation to most state government departments, agencies, officers, and commissions.

    The Department also represents the State in criminal appeals from state trial courts, and brings legal actions on behalf of the state and its citizens when the public interest is at stake.


    Note to Current State Employees:
    The salary grade for this position is LG07.

    State employees are encouraged to apply for positions of interest even if the salary grade is the same as, or lower than, their current position.

    Please detail ALL work history including non-state service experience.

    If selected for this position, a new salary will be recalculated taking into consideration the quantity of relevant education and experience, funding availability, and internal equity.

    Based upon these factors, a pay increase MAY or MAY NOT result.


    The State of North Carolina offers employer paid health insurance plus twelve paid holidays, generous vacation and sick leave accrual, dental, vision, and other insurance options, and retirement benefits.

    You can view our benefits information at Employee Benefits.

    This position is not-subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act.


    • Considerable knowledge of case, statutory, regulatory, and common law.
    • Considerable knowledge of judicial and quasi-judicial procedures and the rules of evidence.
    • Ability to conduct civil or criminal litigation.
    • Ability to interpret and apply constitutional provisions, statutes, administrative regulations, court decisions, and other precedents.
    • Ability to analyze facts, evidence, and legal instruments.
    • Ability to express conclusions and arguments clearly and logically in oral and written form.
    • Ability to maintain effective working relationships.


    Some state job postings say you can qualify by an "equivalent combination of education and experience." If that language appears below, then you may qualify through EITHER years of education OR years of directly related experience, OR a combination of both.

    See for details.
