Attorney Vacancies
All Justice organizations advertise their vacancies for experienced
attorneys on this website. You may search the vacancies
by hiring component, geographic locale, and/or practice area.
Typically, opportunities located outside the Washington, D.C.
area are with one of the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, the
Executive Office for Immigration Review, or the U.S. Trustee
Program. The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Civil Division,
Tax Division and Environment and Natural Resources Division
may also have opportunities in their smaller regional offices.
If you are interested in a current attorney vacancy, please
apply directly to the hiring organization and follow the
application instructions listed in the vacancy announcement.
If you are interested in working for an organization that does
not currently have a vacancy, you may submit a resume and cover
letter describing your interest and highlighting your relevant
experience to that organization. Please consult the organization’s experienced
attorney hiring contact person or the
appropriate U.S. Attorney’s Office contact person for
