Job description

FEDERAL APPELLATE ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY - BRIEF WRITING ATTORNEY
Legal Writing Focus | AI Native Law Practice | Remote Position

Annual Salary: $75,000 (Includes a $5,000 annual taxable health insurance stipend). 
401(k) eligibility after 1 year of service.
The Federal Appeals Firm™ is an AI Native national appellate practice focused exclusively on federal appeals of Social Security disability decisions.

We are seeking an exceptional legal writer to join our team. Prior Social Security disability experience is not required.

We are looking for an attorney with strong legal writing instincts, excellent analytical ability, and the ability to turn complex administrative records into clear, persuasive federal court briefs.

This is a writing-intensive role for an attorney who prefers substantive briefing over hearings, depositions, court appearances, or client-facing litigation.

Associates are trained to work with Brief Master™, our proprietary AI-assisted briefing system developed in-house and refined through thousands of federal briefs. We also train associates in the proper use of Anthropic's Claude. These tools support legal analysis, record review, issue development, and draft refinement. They do not replace attorney judgment.

This position is a remote position for attorneys that do not reside in New Jersey. It may be an in-office / on-site position for attorneys that reside in New Jersey.

Who Should Apply:

This position is ideal for attorneys who enjoy legal research, record analysis, persuasive writing, and substantive legal work. It is generally not a good fit for attorneys seeking courtroom appearances, depositions, client development, or high-volume client interaction. We are seeking an attorney interested in building long-term expertise in federal appellate litigation and becoming a permanent member of a growing national practice.

Responsibilities include:

Drafting federal court briefs challenging Social Security disability decisions;
Analyzing administrative records to identify viable legal issues;
Conducting legal research across multiple federal circuits;
Drafting opening briefs, reply briefs, objections, post-judgment motions, and other substantive filings;
Maintaining accurate time records for EAJA fee petitions;
Collaborating with senior attorneys who review and finalize all filings.

Required qualifications:

Preferred Experience: 0-5 years;
J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school;
Active admission to at least one state bar;
Exceptional legal research and writing skills;
Strong analytical ability and attention to detail;
Ability to manage a substantial writing-focused caseload;
Willingness to learn federal Social Security disability law;
Interest in working in an AI-native legal environment.

ADMISSION TO THE BAR IS REQUIRED.
WE CANNOT CONSIDER CANDIDATES THAT ARE AWAITING ADMISSION.

Preferred qualifications:

Experience with AI-assisted legal tools. However, we will train new associates in proper use of AI tools.

Compensation:

Annual salary: $75,000. The salary includes a $5,000 annual taxable health insurance stipend. The firm does not currently provide group health insurance.

401(k) retirement plan available after one year of service or in accordance with plan terms.

How to apply:

Email the following materials to appeals@thefederalappealsfirm.com:
Resume;
Cover letter;
Two writing samples.
Subject line: FEDERAL APPEALS ASSOCIATE

Applicants with fewer than three years of attorney experience should also include their law school transcript.

Writing Assessment: 

Candidates who advance to serious consideration will be asked to complete a writing assessment before any offer is made.

**The Federal Appeals Firm™ is an equal opportunity employer.**
