Job Description

SCOTUSblog is launching a daily, business‑docket newsletter for corporate counsel and commercial litigators that includes circuit court decisions, relists, denials, en banc grants, notable dissents, and other procedural moves.

What You’ll Do:
• Triage federal appellate opinions and orders; identify items with business impact (e.g., securities, antitrust, L&E, IP, arbitration, class actions, bankruptcy)
• Track SCOTUS activity (relists/denials), en banc developments, and emerging circuit splits.
• Publish the newsletter by 11am ET, Mon–Fri (except federal holidays).
• Fact‑check and cite‑check to newsroom standards; handle corrections transparently.
• Help refine workflows (alerts, searches, templates, automation) that ensure full coverage daily.

What You’ll Bring:
• J.D. required; bar membership a plus.
• 1-4+ years in commercial litigation, appellate practice, or a federal judicial clerkship.
• Proven ability to read fast, synthesize accurately, and explain complex decisions clearly for non‑specialists.
• Reliable, self‑directed work in a remote setting and strong time management.

Nice to Have:
• Prior federal appellate clerkship.
• Depth in one or more: securities, antitrust, L&E, IP, class actions, arbitration, bankruptcy.
• Experience with PACER, CourtListener/RECAP, Westlaw/Lexis/Bloomberg Law, and a newsletter CMS (Substack/Beehiiv/Mailchimp).

Compensation & Logistics:
• Employment type: Full‑time/W‑2.
• Target pay: Less than your law firm, but more than you think.
• Location: Remote with overlap to meet the daily publishing window.
• This is editorial content, not legal advice; conflicts must be disclosed.
