Clarification from the agency

• Attorney Appointments are in the excepted service. • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPLY ONLINE. • Refer to the "HOW TO APPLY" Section for application submission instructions. • FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE REFER TO: https://www.justice.gov/legal-careers/job/attorney-advisor-western-region-multiple-locations • Duty Location: MDC Los Angeles, CA, or FCC Lompoc, CA.

Duties

The legal practice at the Los Angeles Consolidated Legal Center (CLC), with office locations at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Los Angeles, CA, (MDC LOS) and the Federal Correctional Complex at Lompoc, CA (FCC Lompoc) covers a wide variety of issues focusing on correctional law, either through administrative channels or litigation in federal court. Issues include such matters as inmates' reasonable access to the courts (e.g., access to legal materials, legal correspondence, and attorney-client visits), conditions of confinement (e.g., medical care, diet and religious accommodations, housing assignments, hygiene & sanitation), and post-sentence administration (e.g., sentence computation and inmate discipline).

This position is part of the Los Angeles CLC, and the position will be located at either the MDC Los Angeles or FCC Lompoc as part of a legal team that oversees legal matters in the Central District of California associated with Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) operations, which includes the following correctional institutions: Metropolitan Detention Center at Los Angeles (MDC LOS), Federal Correctional Institution at Terminal Island (FCI Terminal Island), Federal Correctional Complex at Lompoc (FCC Lompoc), and the Federal Correctional Complex at Victorville (FCC Victorville).

As a member of the Los Angeles CLC, the incumbent is expected to provide advice and guidance to all levels of staff at these correctional facilities, including members of the Executive Staff. The incumbent may also be required to handle other BOP legal matters as assigned, which are outside the Central District of California and pertain to other BOP institutions. The incumbent will also be expected to communicate with defense attorneys, prosecutors, federal courts, and agency officials. The incumbent is expected to possess excellent skills in both legal research and writing, as the position requires incumbent to perform extensive work in these areas with minimal oversight. The incumbent must have thorough knowledge of all aspects of BOP policy and practice as he/she may be required to appear in District Court on short notice to explain and advocate the agency's rationale for its correctional management decisions.

The duties of this position may at times require frequent and direct contact with individuals in confinement who are suspected or convicted of serious criminal offenses. It has also been determined that the duties of this position require experience and knowledge of the on-the-job responsibilities of a primary law enforcement officer working in a detention facility. Because of the nature and mission of this position, it requires "hands-on" understanding of the issues encompassed in working within an institution. The incumbent may be called on to perform as a law enforcement officer in a correctional environment during training, emergency situations, times of staff shortages, and under any other type of correctional operating crisis. Specific correctional responsibilities may include custody and supervision of inmates, responding to emergencies and institution disturbances, participating in fog and escape patrols, and assuming correctional officer posts when necessary. The incumbent may be required to conduct pat down and visual searches of inmates and search inmate work or living areas for contraband. The incumbent must be prepared to use physical control in situations where necessary, such as in fights among inmates, assaults on staff, and during riots or escape attempts.

The Practice areas related to this position are: Correctional Law, Civil Litigation, and Constitutional Law.

Applicants should note that SF 15 requires supporting documentation associated with service- connected disabilities or receipt of nonservice-connected disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in the case of service members submitting official statements or retirement orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or her retirement was due to a permanent service-connected disability or that he/she was transferred to the permanent disability retired list (the statement or retirement orders must indicate that the disability is 10% or more).
