Attorney

168 open positions in this category

OPM series 0905. Licensed lawyers who give legal advice, prepare legal documents, and represent the agency in hearings, litigation, and negotiations.

Titles in 0905 vary by agency: “Attorney-Adviser (General)”, “Trial Attorney”, “General Attorney (Contract)”, “Staff Attorney” in the federal courts, and labor, tax, ethics and real-property specialties. Attorney positions are in the excepted service, so agencies have more flexibility in how they recruit than for competitive-service jobs.

Recent listings have included telework-eligible roles at agency headquarters and regional offices, among them a notable share of supervisory and leadership positions such as regional counsel, section chiefs and deputy general counsel.

Applying tip: 0905 announcements require a J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in a US jurisdiction, and some specify years of post-bar experience for each grade. State your bar admissions, jurisdictions and admission dates explicitly in the resume. The legal jobs guide covers how federal attorney hiring differs from private practice.
