American Oversight is looking for a dedicated, organized, and efficient paralegal to join our team and help us shine a light on government misconduct and threats to democracy. We’re a nonpartisan, nonprofit watchdog that uses targeted public records requests and litigation to uncover evidence of corruption, abuse of power, or conflicts of interest.
We leverage our open records expertise to act where corruption and government power overlap. From the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to state transparency laws, we use carefully crafted records requests to extract information from the government. When the government fails to respond as required by law, our team has the expertise to take them to court and enforce the public’s right to hold our leaders accountable. American Oversight has obtained and published more than one million pages of emails, memos, calendars, text messages, and other records — ensuring accountability, exposing misconduct, and often driving significant corrective action, at all levels of government.
The paralegal will support our legal team by keeping outgoing records requests, incoming agency correspondence, and document productions organized. The paralegal will also provide litigation support to our attorneys, including service of process, keeping litigation calendars up-to-date, file maintenance, and more. Our paralegals are a small but vital team that has become the beating heart of American Oversight, keeping the core of our work organized and promptly accessible to the rest of the staff.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
Specific tasks will shift day by day with our work, but depending on your weekly rotation assignment, in a typical week, you will:
Monitor federal FOIA or state records email inboxes for incoming correspondence and document productions from government agencies and offices.
Interact with federal FOIA and state agency open records personnel directly or notify American Oversight attorneys of correspondence requiring their review.
Finalize and file FOIA and state records requests with government agencies.
Create folders and database entries within American Oversight’s document management systems, and track FOIA and open records request deadlines.
Process incoming document productions, including entering production information in databases, saving documents to proper locations, making them text searchable and applying pagination and logos.
Provide litigation case support to attorneys, including service of process, organizing and maintaining litigation files and calendars, and other litigation projects.
Review and research current events to spot issues for potential investigation and to identify opportunities to uncover government malfeasance or unethical conduct through FOIA and state records requests.
Assist legal and investigations teams with drafting FOIA and state open records requests.
Assist legal and investigations teams with document review and drafting administrative appeals.
QUALIFICATIONS
Exceptional organization and project-management skills.
Extraordinary attention to detail.
Sound judgment and the ability to apply existing protocols to a variety of situations while properly identifying when situations do not fit within preexisting processes.
Highly professional communication skills, including the ability to communicate courteously, clearly and concisely in a fast-paced environment with internal and external stakeholders.
A team-player that is able to work collaboratively and seamlessly share responsibilities.
Familiarity with a variety of software programs, including word processing, spreadsheets, and databases.
Flexibility to quickly learn new software programs and systems.
High degree of professional ethics and integrity.
Interest in government ethics and accountability.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
American Oversight is proudly an equal opportunity employer and is committed to building a diverse team. Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they have every one of the qualifications listed. We are dedicated to finding the best candidate for the job. Our hiring process is centered on assessing candidates with diverse lived experiences.

Join a team of extraordinary lawyers bringing accountability to bear on all levels of government. American Oversight promotes accountability, integrity, and democracy through transparency. Using open records requests, backed by aggressive litigation, American Oversight attorneys work every day to shine a light on corruption, malfeasance, and other misconduct. American Oversight’s investigations helped uncover the scrapped plan to mail face masks to every American household, key details of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s role in the Ukraine scandal, and dozens of other significant stories. We’re expanding our focus and bringing our model to the states— using transparency tools to hold state governments accountable. Already, our lawsuits have resulted in the release of thousands of pages of records relating to Georgia’s election operations, including attempts to challenge voter eligibility in that state.
American Oversight is uniquely positioned to drive government accountability in 2021 and beyond, with an emphasis on defending democracy, voting rights, redistricting, and election protection work at the state level, as well as long-term accountability for Trump administration officials.
Our lawyers are litigators first and foremost. They file pleadings, engage in extended meet-and-confers with opposing counsel, and battle to enforce the public’s right to transparency. This requires initiative, skill, and creativity in identifying and crafting legal strategies.
We are a small team in a fast-paced environment. Collegiality and ability to work effectively on multiple projects, balance priorities, and excel in a team-based environment is essential.
American Oversight is looking for an experienced attorney with at least four years of legal experience, including at least two years of experience with civil litigation. Responsibilities and salary will vary based on experience and skills.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Litigate Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests on behalf of American Oversight and other clients.
Mentor more junior staff, with potential to manage case work of more junior attorneys depending on applicant’s past management and litigation experience.
Supervise and work with local counsel to bring open records lawsuits in state jurisdictions.
Draft court pleadings, including complaints, motions, and briefs.
Engage in legal and factual research, motions practice, and brief writing.
When appropriate, engage in drafting of discovery requests, appellate briefs, amicus briefs, and regulatory comments.
Review and research current events to spot potential legal issues and to identify opportunities to uncover government malfeasance or unethical conduct.
Work with investigations team to research and develop investigation strategies.
Draft FOIA and state open records act requests and administrative appeals.
Engage in frequent negotiations with executive branch FOIA and state agency open records personnel and with government counsel in litigation.
Prepare demand letters to advance ethics and transparency of the executive branch.
Work with communications and investigations teams on messaging materials and blog posts as needed.
Represent American Oversight in meetings with coalition partners and congressional committees.
Participate in internal organizational development initiatives.
QUALIFICATIONS
