The position provides a tremendous opportunity to gain valuable experience and insight into public governance through the lens of the legislature. It is an ideal introduction to Illinois government for those with an interest in public policy. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to:

  • Draft, review and analyze legislation for Democratic members of the House of Representatives.
  • Serve as parliamentarian for committees of the House, and as temporary parliamentarian for the House on behalf of the Chief Counsel.
  • Advise Democratic members of the House during committees and floor debate.
  • Conduct research and draft memoranda on a wide variety of policy and legal issues.
  • Facilitate negotiations between Democratic members of the House, lobbyists, agencies, and constituents.

Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities


Successful candidates must be highly motivated self-starters and possess strong legal reasoning skills, enthusiasm, integrity, effective interpersonal skills, and exceptional written and verbal communication skills. Additional qualifications are as follows:

  • Admission to the Illinois Bar prior to the start of the contract is required. Applicants awaiting Bar Exam results in 2026 are encouraged to apply.
  • A commitment to learning quickly and performing at the highest level in a fast-paced environment are expected.
  • Excellent time management and collaboration skills are essential.
  • Proficiency in explaining complicated concepts in an accurate and concise manner.

  • Candidates are paid at a rate of $70,000 per year for first-year contracts.
  • Contract attorneys are eligible for reimbursement of health insurance premiums and earned time benefits.
  • Attorneys are expected to be in Springfield during session weeks. Opportunities to work from our Chicago office may be available when the House is not in session.
