The Congressional Research Service (CRS) American Law Division is seeking a Legislative Attorney to provide analysis of legal questions that emerge from the work of Congress related to American public law, including federal Indian law (such as land-into-trust, water rights, Indian gaming, taxation, Indian child welfare, Indian health issues, etc.).
This is a non-litigating position that emphasizes qualifications and interest in legal research and writing in a public service legislative context. Candidates with research experience in American public law and federal Indian law who demonstrate strong research, writing and oral communication skills and possess a portfolio of high quality legal analytical writing are encouraged to apply.
The Legislative Attorney prepares objective, non-partisan legal analysis and descriptive and background memoranda and reports on legal issues of national significance; provides personal consultation and assistance to congressional committees, Members, and staff on legal issues throughout the legislative process; and participates on or leads team research projects and seminars. The Legislative Attorney is expected to develop over time the skills necessary to provide legal analysis and consultation to congressional committees, Members, and staff at increasingly sophisticated levels.
