Job Description

Assistant Corporation Counsel - Family Court

The New York City Law Department is accepting applications from admitted attorneys with a minimum of four years litigation experience for the position of Assistant Corporation Counsel (ACC) in the Family Court Division's Advanced Litigation and Major Case Unit. Successful candidates will receive extensive training and develop an expertise in the investigation and prosecution of firearms cases. They will primarily handle cases involving the possession and/or use of firearms, but may also handle other types of felony cases. The ACC would work primarily in our Bronx, Brooklyn, or Manhattan offices, but may be required to appear in any of the Family Courts across all five boroughs of New York City. The Juvenile Delinquency Unit Serves as the Presentment Agency in juvenile delinquency proceedings before the Family Court. Juvenile delinquency matters currently involve youth under 18 who have been arrested for conduct that would constitute a crime if they were adults. The goal of these proceedings is to address the needs and best interest of the youth and to ensure the safety of the community. Attorneys in the Family Court Division's Juvenile Delinquency Unit carry a caseload and are responsible for all aspects of the practice. This includes community outreach and engagement, case investigation, motion practice, conducting extensive discovery, and courtroom litigation including pre-trial hearings, trials and dispositional hearings. The ACC's borough assignment will include cross-designation as a Special Assistant District Attorney where they will draft cases and appear in the Youth Part of the Supreme Court. The ACC will participate in a citywide rotation of night and weekend court assignments. Applicants must be able to work independently and have strong litigation, oral and written communication skills. Applicants must possess excellent judgment; exceptional organizational abilities; strong leadership skills; solid knowledge of criminal law, the Family Court Act and evidentiary issues; and strong interpersonal skills.
