- Occasional special projects, drafting memos / presentations.
We will also be hiring a second individual to serve as both the firm manager for Goldstein & Russell P.C. and the deputy manager of SCOTUSblog. The principal responsibilities for this position include, but are not limited to:
- Coordinating and proofing Supreme Court filings;
- Administrative work for the firm and in particular for Tom Goldstein, the firm’s managing partner;
- Scheduling travel, which may entail making frequent last-minute changes and arrangements, sometimes during off hours;
- Miscellaneous personal work;
- Overseeing all web development for the blog, from strategy and planning, to execution by web development team;

- Overseeing occasional special projects, including the Supreme Court Prediction Challenge.

- Ability to improvise. We occasionally need all hands on deck both during and outside of normal business hours.
A commitment of at least two years is required for both positions. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, transcript (either official or unofficial), and unedited writing sample (no more than five pages) to kborkoski@scotusblog.com and mmallory@scotusblog.comby April 1.
