Attorney Vacancies
All Justice organizations advertise their vacancies for experienced
attorneys on this website. You may search the vacancies
by hiring component, geographic locale, and/or practice area.
Typically, opportunities located outside the Washington, D.C.
area are with one of the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, the
Executive Office for Immigration Review, or the U.S. Trustee
Program. The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Civil Division,
Tax Division and Environment and Natural Resources Division
may also have opportunities in their smaller regional offices.
If you are interested in a current attorney vacancy, please
apply directly to the hiring organization and follow the
application instructions listed in the vacancy announcement.
If you are interested in working for an organization that does
not currently have a vacancy, you may submit a resume and cover
letter describing your interest and highlighting your relevant
experience to that organization. Please consult the organization’s experienced
attorney hiring contact person or the
appropriate U.S. Attorney’s Office contact person for
information on the respective office’s acceptance of unsolicited
resumes.
If you are a veteran and wish to contact someone in the Department’s
Veterans Employment Program Office, contact Cortez
Puryear at (202) 514-0349.
For additional information about Justice’s experienced
attorney hiring process, please call (202) 514-3396 (24-hour

Reasonable Accommodation
Statement
The U.S. Department of Justice is an Equal Opportunity/Reasonable
Accommodation Employer. Except where otherwise provided by law,
there will be no discrimination because of color, race, religion,
national origin, political affiliation, marital status, disability
(physical or mental), age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation,
genetic information, status as a parent, membership or non-membership
in an employee organization, on the basis of personal favoritism,
or any non merit factor. The Department of Justice welcomes
and encourages applications from persons with physical and mental
disabilities. The Department is firmly committed to satisfying
its affirmative obligations under the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, to ensure that persons with disabilities have every opportunity
to be hired and advanced on the basis of merit within the Department
of Justice. This agency provides reasonable accommodation to
applicants with disabilities where appropriate. If you need
a reasonable accommodation for any part of the application and
hiring process, please notify the agency. Determinations on
requests for reasonable accommodation will be made on a case-by-case
basis.
It is the policy of the Department to achieve a drug-free workplace
and persons selected for employment will be required to pass
a drug test which screens for illegal drug use prior to final
appointment. Employment is also contingent upon the completion
and satisfactory adjudication of a background investigation.
Only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment with the Executive
Office for Immigration Review and the United States Attorneys'
Offices. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job advertisement,
non-U.S. Citizens may apply for employment with other organizations,
but should be advised that appointments of non-U.S. Citizens
are extremely rare; such appointments would be possible only
if necessary to accomplish the Department's mission and would
be subject to strict security requirements. Applicants who hold
dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country will be considered
on a case-by-case basis.
There is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference
to attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the
Department of Justice considers veterans' preference eligibility
as a positive factor in attorney hiring. Applicants eligible
for veterans' preference must include that information in their
cover letter or resume and attach supporting documentation (e.g.,
the DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty and other supporting documentation) to their submissions.
Although the "point" system is not used, per se, applicants
eligible to claim 10-point preference must submit Standard Form
(SF) 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference, and submit
the supporting documentation required for the specific type
of preference claimed (visit the OPM website, www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/SF15.pdf for
a copy of SF 15, which lists the types of 10-point preferences
and the required supporting document(s). Applicants should note
that SF 15 requires supporting documentation associated with
service-connected disabilities or receipt of nonservice-connected
disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in the
case of service members submitting official statements or retirement
orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or
her retirement was due to a permanent service-connected disability
or that he/she was transferred to the permanent disability retired
list (the statement or retirement orders must indicate that
the disability is 10% or more).
