Empathy for the poor and a willingness to work with, and on behalf of, people accused of crimes.
Impeccable judgment and trustworthiness.
Familiarity with confidentiality standards, including the attorney-client privilege.
Strong analytical skills and the ability to follow both written and verbal instructions.

Be proficient in case-management software, such as Eclipse and CaseMap, used by the U.S. Attorney’s office and the criminal-defense field;
Provide research support;
Conduct some background investigation and acquire records (e.g., legal, medical, and business);
Manage an electronic office calendar and monitor the court dockets;
Prepare and send written and electronic correspondence on behalf of the attorneys;
Draft and proofread legal pleadings under attorney supervision;
Prepare and file pleadings, electronic and written, to the federal district court, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court;
Provide litigation support during trial; and
Perform other duties, including answering phones, as instructed.
