Criminal Division-Appellate Section
Atlanta, Georgia
Announcement #: 21-GAN-AUSA-04
Application Deadline: June 7, 2021
Responsibilities and Opportunity Offered: The Northern District of Georgia is currently seeking applicants for a permanent Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) opening in our Criminal Division, Appellate Section. All initial attorney appointments to the Department of Justice are made on a 14-month (temporary) basis pending favorable adjudication of a background investigation.
The selected AUSA will be assigned to our Appellate & Legal Advice Section where the attorney will be responsible for researching and drafting briefs and motions for filing in the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, arguing appeals, reviewing and editing briefs and motions for colleagues, participating in moot courts to prepare for oral argument, and providing research support for AUSAs in the Criminal and Civil Divisions. Briefs will involve a wide variety of constitutional, statutory, and other claims arising under substantive and procedural federal criminal law and primarily respond to defense claims of error in convictions and/or sentences, while at times, the government will file an appeal challenging district court decisions or orders.
