Office of the Solicitor General
Washington, District of Columbia
Application Deadline: May 23, 2022
The incumbent serves as an Assistant to the Solicitor General. Each of the Assistants to the Solicitor General participates in all aspects of the work of the Office; none of them specializes in any particular subject. Work is assigned primarily on the basis of their availability and background knowledge when a particular matter reaches the Office. The Office primarily performs a reviewing function. Drafts of briefs and other papers filed in the U.S. Supreme Court are usually prepared in the various operating divisions of the Department or by the regulatory agencies. The Assistants review and revise these documents, often substantially rewriting them. The Assistants work on briefs on the merits, petitions for writs of certiorari, jurisdictional statements, briefs in opposition, motions to affirm, papers relating to stays and other emergency relief, and other forms of motion practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. They also make recommendations as to whether the government should seek U.S. Supreme Court review in cases it has lost, whether the United States should appeal to intermediate appellate courts cases it has lost in the trial courts, and whether the United States should pursue rehearing en banc when cases are lost at the appellate level. The Assistants prepare memoranda to the Solicitor General containing such recommendations and also memoranda discussing other legal problems as assigned. The Assistants argue cases before the U.S. Supreme Court—ordinarily, twice per Supreme Court Term after their first Term in the Office, with third arguments allocated by seniority as available.
