City of New York Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. The Tort Division of the New York City Law Department is now accepting applications from experienced trial attorneys, with at least 4 years of experience, to handle back-to-back personal injury trials Citywide. The subject matter of the trials will primarily be alleged-police-misconduct cases but can also range from trip-and-fall cases to complex multi-defendant motor vehicle accident/roadway design cases.
After the completion of orientation, attorneys hired by the Law Department will have the opportunity to elect to work from home under one of the following two programs. The first option allows attorneys to work remotely on a limited and irregular basis. The second option is a Citywide pilot program, which allows participants to select two set days to work from home each week. The two days will need to be approved by the attorney’s division and take into consideration the needs of the division, as the pilot program requires more than 50% staff coverage each day. In addition, if an attorney needs to appear in court, a client meeting or other in-person work related event on a set work from home day, they will need to attend to those in-person responsibilities and will not be able to work from home that day. Participants in the pilot program must set one work from home location where they will work remotely. This pilot program is currently being tested Citywide to determine its efficacy for City agencies and is not yet a permanent program.
To apply, please upload your cover letter, resume, writing sample and a list of three references with contact information as one document under “resume.”
