Trial Attorney/Torts Branch-Federal Tort Claims Act Section

Job Location: Washington, DC

 

About the Office:

The Torts Branch is seeking experienced Trial Attorneys at the GS-14 or GS-15 level for its Federal Tort Claims Act Section.

The Torts Branch’s Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) Section handles a wide variety of complex, and often controversial, suits filed under the FTCA.  These suits arise most often from the provision of medical care at federal facilities or community health centers, regulatory activities, law enforcement activities, and management of federal lands.  Examples of law enforcement matters recently handled by the FTCA Section include defending the United States in three mass shooting cases, one of which was the 2018 shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.  Another example of sensitive law enforcement litigation arose out of the defense of alleged FBI misconduct in handling informants in Boston, as well as suits brought by individuals who were detained on immigration charges following the 9-11 terrorist attacks.  The FTCA Section is also defending the United States in complex litigation stemming from a natural disaster – a wildfire that occurred in Tennessee.  In terms of medical malpractice, the FTCA Section handles some of the most complex medical malpractice suits filed against the United States.  These are often birth injury cases with complex medical causation issues in which high damages awards are sought.  On a day-to-day basis, the FTCA Section provides guidance to U.S. Attorney’s Offices (USAOs) and federal agencies on a broad range of legal issues that arise under the FTCA, assists in the development of strategy, and participates in settlement negotiations in claims handled by other federal agencies or in cases handled by the USAOs.  The FTCA Section has particular expertise in the evaluation and settlement of catastrophic injury cases.  In addition, the FTCA Section is responsible for providing appeal recommendations on adverse FTCA judgments, including for those cases handled by USAOs.  The FTCA Section also provides comments on draft legislation that may have an impact on the public fisc.  Often, when Congress is in session, numerous bills are reviewed on a weekly basis.  In addition, the FTCA Section is responsible for the adjudication of administrative claims filed as a result of the conduct of employees of the Department of Justice (DOJ) nationwide.

As the federal agency whose mission is to ensure the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans, the Department of Justice is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. To build and retain a workforce that reflects the diverse experiences and perspectives of the American people, we welcome applicants from the many communities, identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, religions, and cultures of the United States who share our commitment to public service.

Job Description:

This vacancy presents an opportunity for experienced trial attorneys who want to defend the United States in complex, often high dollar value cases.  Trial attorneys in the FTCA Section handle personal injury, wrongful death, and property damage suits arising from activities of federal employees acting within the scope of their federal employment.  FTCA Section attorneys frequently handle large or complex cases of national significance.  They also provide guidance on complex legal issues in suits handled by USAOs and on administrative claims pending with federal agencies, make recommendations on whether settlements proposed by federal agencies and USAOs should be authorized, and prepare appeal recommendations on adverse judgments in FTCA cases.

Qualifications:

Applicants must possess a J.D. degree, be duly licensed and authorized to practice as an attorney under the laws of any state, territory of the United States, or the District of Columbia, and be an active member of the bar in good standing.  Applicants should have excellent writing, negotiation, and interpersonal skills, exhibit good judgment, and have a strong interest in litigation.

  • At least four years of post-JD litigation experience in federal courts.
  • Excellent research and writing skills, as well as experience presenting oral arguments.
