Position Description:  The Office of the Capital Collateral Regional Counsel–Northern Region (“CCRC-North”) is a State of Florida government agency which represents indigent Florida death row inmates in postconviction proceedings challenging the legality of their convictions and sentences in state and in federal courts. 

 

CCRC-North is responsible for investigating, filing, and litigating state postconviction motions for relief in local circuit courts, appeals to the Florida Supreme Court, and petitions for writs of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court. In addition, CCRC-North attorneys are responsible for preparing, filing, and litigating habeas corpus petitions in the federal district courts, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court. This position includes both litigation and appellate opportunities as the case moves through the postconviction process.

Requirements:  The qualified candidate must be a graduate of an accredited U.S. law school and a member in good standing with the Florida Bar. Must have excellent writing skills. Former public defenders with courtroom experience are preferred.

The position offers full State benefits including, but not limited to: annual and sick leave; an average of ten paid holidays (some years include additional days depending how the calendar falls); one personal holiday each year (after six months of employment); state group insurance coverage options, including health, life, dental, vision, and other supplemental insurance options; and retirement plan options with employer contributions. Additional retirement information can be found at . Additional information on benefits can be found at .

 

To apply:  Send a current resume, a writing sample, and at least three references via email to: Dawn Macready, Acting Capital Collateral Regional Counsel-North,  dawn.macready@ccrc-north.org .
