Our Organization and Mission: The Office represents the State of Florida in state and federal civil and criminal courts, from trial courts to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Position Summary: This position is in the Office of the Attorney General within the Criminal Appeals Unit in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Pay: $81,885.18 Annually.
Qualifications:
Admission to the Florida Bar and two (2) years of professional experience in the practice of law, legal research, teaching law or in administrative or judicial hearings. The required legal experience must be from the practice of law in a state or territory of the United States. Membership in good standing in another state Bar can substitute for the required admission to the Florida Bar provided that, pursuant to Rule 11-1.10 of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, the attorney applies for and obtains admission to the Florida Bar within 12 months of appointment to a position in this class.
The Work You Will Do: The responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to the following:
The Florida Attorney General’s five Criminal Appeals Divisions strive to keep in place the criminal convictions and sentences obtained by state prosecutors in the trial courts. By having attorneys who specialize in appellate work, the Attorney General is able to ensure that the large volume of criminal appeals are handled professionally and efficiently.
The Divisions open a high volume of new cases every year. In addition to direct criminal appeals, Criminal Appeals handles sexually violent predator commitment appeals, state post-conviction appeals, extraordinary writs, state appeals to adverse rulings, and inmate challenges to their state convictions filed in federal court. Cases range from relatively minor sentencing and post-conviction appeals to complicated white-collar crime, homicide, child abuse, and sexual assault cases.Often the cases involve constitutional or statutory construction issues and can present matters of first impression. While a majority of the cases impact only the defendants and the victims involved, any given case may result in new published law that has a significant impact of law enforcement procedures and on procedures for criminal trials and sentencing hearings throughout the state.
Criminal Appeals attorneys must provide effective and ethical representation in all cases. In each case, the attorney must read the trial transcripts and other pertinent documents, conduct legal research on each of the defendant’s claims, and write an argument explaining why the State of Florida should prevail.
Attorneys in Criminal Appeals regularly present oral argument before the Florida District Court of Appeals, the Florida Supreme Court, and the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Criminal Appeals cultivates a collegial environment where attorneys are encouraged to discuss their cases and share ideas. All attorneys are assigned a mentor and have access to free, in-house continuing legal education.
Candidate Profile (application) must be completed in its entirety.
