Assistant Capital Collateral Regional Counsel—North
Position Number: 016089
Hiring Salary: $65,000.00 plus DOE
Capital Postconviction Second-Chair Attorney
Position Description: The Office of the Capital Collateral Regional Counsel–Northern Region (“CCRC-North”) is a State of Florida government agency which represents indigent Florida death row inmates in postconviction proceedings challenging the legality of their convictions and sentences in state and in federal courts.
CCRC-North is responsible for investigating, filing, and litigating state postconviction motions for relief in local circuit courts, appeals to the Florida Supreme Court, and petitions for writs of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court. In addition, CCRC-North attorneys are responsible for preparing, filing, and litigating habeas corpus petitions in the federal district courts, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court. This position includes both litigation and appellate opportunities as the case moves through the postconviction process. Attorneys also have the opportunity to work with a variety of forensic experts related to guilt and penalty phase issues.
Cases are assigned to a team within CCRC-North. Each team consists, at a minimum, of a lead attorney, a second chair attorney, and an investigator. Attorneys work closely with their team, clients, witnesses and experts to effectively challenge the conviction and sentence. CCRC-North’s cases usually originate in North Florida; however, conflict case appointments may arise from anywhere in Florida.
Requirements: The qualified candidate must be a graduate of an accredited U.S. law school. Attorneys must also be a member in good standing with the Florida Bar or willing to sit for the next possible examination. Highly qualified law graduates or members of another state bar who commit to taking the next scheduled Florida Bar examination will also be considered. Prior criminal defense or clinical experience is a plus.
Salary and Benefits: Annual salary starts at $65,000, depending on experience. For applicants awaiting admission to the Florida Bar, the starting salary is an estimated $60,000. Upon admission to the Florida Bar, the applicant will be promoted from Legal Trainee to Assistant CCRC-N with an estimated starting salary of $65,000. Will consider remote work.
The position offers full State benefits including, but not limited to: annual and sick leave; an average of ten paid holidays (some years include additional days depending how the calendar falls); one personal holiday each year (after six months of employment); state group insurance coverage options, including health, life, dental, vision, and other supplemental insurance options; and retirement plan options with employer contributions.
