DUTIES:
SALARY RANGE:
$75,000-$90,000
TOTAL COMPENSATION/BENEFIT STRUCTURE:
As a Commonwealth of Massachusetts employee, you are offered a great career opportunity but it's more than a paycheck.
The State's total compensation package features an outstanding set of employee benefits which you should consider, including:
Applicants must have a Juris Doctor (JD) Degree with a minimum of one year experience in civil litigation and/or administrative hearings.
An Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer. Females, minorities, veterans, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
The Commonwealth is an Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, national origin, veteran status, or any other basis covered by appropriate law.
