You will represent clients at trial and post-conviction in the courts of Ohio, as solo-counsel, lead counsel, or co-counsel, on high-level felony cases, death penalty representation, complex or strategic litigation, and representation of clients who have had strained relationships with prior counsel. In the majority of cases, you will work independently. You will also collaborate with and work as co-counsel with other positions on litigation teams, including but not limited to Mitigation Investigation Specialists and other Assistant Public Defenders. The position is based out of the Columbus office but requires routine and regular travel throughout most regions of Ohio, including travel to county courts, county jails, and Department of Rehabilitation and Correction facilities. The majority of representation you will provide is in-person. Our preferred candidate will be an empathetic communicator who has demonstrated experience working with clients experiencing mental health, medical, and addiction-related issues. When not traveling or in trial, you currently will have the opportunity to work from home for portions of the time. This position does not require you to be pre-certified for purposes of appointment to a death penalty case; We do encourage candidates with significant years of experience in trial-level advocacy to apply.
