Staff Attorney
U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation
Washington, D.C.
Vacancy Announcement Number: 24-02 JPML-SA
Salary Range: CL-30/31 ($111,507-$191,900)
The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation is accepting applications for the full-time, permanent position of Staff Attorney. A Panel Staff Attorney reports to the Panel Executive, and provides substantive legal analysis, advice, and assistance on multidistrict litigation (MDL) dockets before the Panel and on other Panel-related issues. Panel staff attorneys routinely conduct legal research, identify and assess possible courses of Panel action, draft memoranda and proposed opinions and orders, and communicate the results of any research and analysis to judges, court staff, and the parties. A Panel Staff Attorney must exercise largely independent responsibility for monitoring and initiating the conditional transfer or remand process with respect to a substantial number of MDL dockets.
The Panel was created by Congress in 1968, and is a statutory national court under federal jurisdiction. It is governed principally by Section 1407, which gives the Panel the authority to “centralize” related actions pending in different districts by ordering the transfer of all such actions to a single district for pretrial management. The statute provides that the Panel shall consist of seven Article III judges appointed by the Chief Justice, each of whom must reside in a different Circuit. The Panel is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
The Staff Attorney’s duties include, but are not limited to, the following:
Monitoring approximately 50 multidistrict dockets, and independently determining, based on research, analysis, and knowledge of those dockets, whether to transfer conditionally cases to, or remand conditionally cases from, their assigned dockets.
Conducting legal research on issues that form the basis for the disposition of motions (primarily motions to centralize) or show cause orders, preparing memoranda, and presenting recommended dispositions, orally and in writing, for the Panel judges' consideration.
Reviewing and analyzing the district court, appellate court, and agency records, as well as the motions and briefs filed in cases related to motions (primarily motions to centralize and motions to vacate conditional transfer or remand) before the Panel.
Drafting opinions and orders for the Panel judges' consideration and signature.
Arranging and coordinating Panel hearing sessions, including taking oral argument appearances from multiple counsel at each hearing session, and an annual conference for MDL judges.
Drafting presentations and reference materials on jurisdiction, substantive law, and MDL practices, for distribution and use by Panel judges, “transferee” judges, other Panel personnel, and other court personnel throughout the country.
Conducting research on specific legal questions from judges and preparing memoranda on the results of that research.
Assisting newer staff attorneys, including providing training, guidance, and advice, reviewing, editing and checking draft documents, offering constructive criticism, and similar tasks.
Remaining current on, and tracking developments in the law of, all circuits and district courts affecting multidistrict, complex, mass tort, and class action litigation, as well as legislative developments in those areas, and updating legal personnel and judges on those developments.
Some travel is required (generally, seven 4-day trips annually).
Qualifications
To be qualified for appointment, a two-year commitment is required.
Experience - A minimum of five years of experience in the practice of law. Law review or other journal participation or comparable legal research and writing experience is desirable. Litigation or court staff attorney experience is advantageous, as is a prior judicial clerkship and familiarity with multidistrict litigation.

Washington, D.C. Area
The Capital Area Immigrants' Rights (CAIR) Coalition is now Amica Center for Immigrant Rights (Amica Center for short). Since our founding in 1999, we have grown significantly and added new services to support immigrants in detention. Recently, Amica Center has outgrown our name, expanding beyond our initial services and geographic boundaries.
Amica is the Latin word for friend, and that echoes the way we approach what we do. Just as friends stand with one another, Amica Center stands with our clients to achieve the safety, stability, and opportunity we all deserve.
We are the only non-profit organization in the Washington, D.C. area that is exclusively focused on providing legal assistance to adult and child immigrants detained by the government in the Capital Region and beyond.
Our Work Environment
The Detained Adult Program (DAP) works with hundreds of adults who are detained by ICE each year, providing information, support, and legal representation. We provide trauma-sensitive, person-centered services, and deeply value the autonomy of the people we work with in detention as they navigate the fundamentally inhumane immigration system.
Amica Center's Detained Adult Program is a highly collaborative work environment. Each team lead works directly with a focused team, but all colleagues are interconnected through, for example, case workshops or staff-run committees.
DAP staff is a source of expertise in the highly complex and ever-changing immigration system. They have persisted through administration changes, policy shifts, and attacks on the rights and freedoms of immigrants through project-focused cohorts that arise to address challenges or to brainstorm and implement affirmative strategies.
Position Summary
A Deputy Program Director for internal management in the Detained Adult Program focuses on (1) ensuring that program staff provide excellent and efficient services to clients; (2) ensuring that grant and contractual requirements are met and accurately reported; (3) supporting the DAP Program Directors and management team in ensuring smooth functioning of internal systems; and (4) contributing to the long-term and strategic planning for the Detained Adult Program.
