About the Office
The Office of Adjudication, Recruitment, and Management (OARM) oversees the employment and general administration of attorneys and law students at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). OARM sets policy and advises DOJ officials within the components, U.S. Attorneys' Offices, and at the highest levels of DOJ on issues regarding the recruitment, appointment, and separation of attorneys and legal interns. The Director of OARM also has the authority to decide FBI whistleblower reprisal claims brought pursuant to 28 C.F.R. Part 27.
Job Description
OARM seeks one full-time attorney to support the adjudication of FBI whistleblower reprisal claims brought pursuant to 28 C.F.R. Part 27. These regulations provide protections to FBI whistleblowers and authorize the Director of OARM to decide the merits of a case and order appropriate corrective action, as warranted. Additionally, the attorney will assist in developing, implementing, and administering procedures necessary for the efficient resolution of FBI whistleblower reprisal claims.
The whistleblower team consists of two attorneys who work with the Director, draft orders and opinions, and participate in status conferences and hearings with the parties. The attorney will research and analyze complex legal issues that arise in the course of these matters. The position requires interaction with Department officials, the FBI's Office of General Counsel, and FBI whistleblower complainants and their representatives, if any. The role entails significant program management and administrative responsibilities associated with the adjudication of FBI whistleblower matters. Duties will include docket and records management, responding to inquiries from external stakeholders, and meeting data collection and reporting requirements.
