Job Description

The Office of Professional Regulation (OPR) is hiring Disciplinary Counsel for the Iowa Supreme Court Attorney Disciplinary Board. This position will be located in the OPR office within the Iowa Judicial Branch building in Des Moines, IA.

The Iowa Supreme Court Attorney Disciplinary Board protects the public and preserves confidence in the legal profession by investigating allegations of attorney misconduct and prosecuting disciplinary cases on behalf of the Iowa Supreme Court. Disciplinary Counsel plays a central role in carrying out that mission through fair, independent, and professional enforcement of the Iowa Rules of Professional Conduct.

The Attorney Disciplinary Board seeks a disciplinary prosecutor who exercises sound judgment, demonstrates unquestioned integrity, treats all participants with professionalism and respect, and is committed to protecting the public and maintaining confidence in the legal profession.

Disciplinary Counsel serves as litigation counsel for the Attorney Disciplinary Board and represents the Board in disciplinary proceedings before the Grievance Commission and the Iowa Supreme Court. The position requires independent legal judgment, careful investigation, strategic case evaluation, and sound exercise of prosecutorial discretion. This attorney also advises the Board on interpretation of the rules of professional conduct and proposed changes to the rules, and reviews and processes other disciplinary matters before the Board (including reciprocal discipline and reinstatements of law licenses after suspension or revocation).

The pay range for this position is $95,576.00 – $152,692.80, plus State of Iowa benefits. The starting salary for new employees is expected to be at the base of the pay range. Adjustment may be made if the successful candidate has relevant experience.

This is a full-time, FLSA-exempt, 40 hours per week position.

This position involves occasional overnight travel.

Relocation assistance is not available for this position.

Examples of Duties and Responsibilities

Reviewing and evaluating complaints.
Conducting confidential investigations.
Working closely with investigators, Board members, and other disciplinary counsel.
Negotiating stipulations and consent dispositions where appropriate.
Advising Board members during screening and hearing meetings.
Drafting reports, recommendations, briefs, and appellate filings.
Participating in rule development and policy discussions.
Responding to inquiries from judges, lawyers, and members of the public.

Other duties as assigned and required.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

Exceptional legal research, writing, and oral advocacy.
Excellent judgment in evaluating evidence and exercising prosecutorial discretion.
Ability to manage a demanding caseload with minimal supervision.
Ability to maintain strict confidentiality.
Professionalism when interacting with respondent attorneys, complainants, judges, witnesses, opposing counsel, and members of the public.
Ability to work collaboratively with investigators, fellow attorneys, administrative staff, and Board members.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
Ability to communicate difficult decisions professionally and respectfully.
Sound courtroom presence and appellate advocacy skills.
Commitment to fairness, objectivity, and the rule of law.
Substantial litigation experience, including courtroom advocacy, motion practice, legal writing, and appellate briefing, is strongly preferred.

The Office of Professional Regulation is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer.

Candidates need to complete the NeoGov application and attach a cover letter and resume. Final applicants are subjected to a criminal background check. The Office of Professional Regulation is an E-Verify employer.

This is a non-merit position with the Office of Professional Regulation. Candidates must follow the instructions in the “To Apply” section.
