JOB OPENING: ASSISANT COUNTY ATTORNEY, MACON-BIBB COUNTY
Application Deadline: Posted until filled
Hiring Company Name: Macon-Bibb County
Position Title: Assistant County Attorney
Type of Position: Full Time Employment
Brief description of the job opportunity:
Are you an attorney looking to make a meaningful impact in your community? Join our dedicated team as an Assistant County Attorney, where you’ll play a vital role in serving Macon-Bibb County’s legal needs.
We are seeking a team player who is comfortable in a general practice public service environment, with the ability to handle both familiar and novel legal matters. Our projects will include litigation, contract negotiations, advising on in-the-moment legal issues, and assisting policymakers with turning their legislative visions into local laws. You’ll be an integral part of a supportive team of servant leaders, focused on ensuring the best outcomes for the County and its people. Preference will be given to candidates with local government law or litigation experience; candidates who have served as judicial law clerks; candidates who completed law school in the top 33% of their class; and candidates who were on a law review or journal, or who participated in their law school’s advocacy program.
What We Do:
The Macon-Bibb County Attorney’s Office prepares every piece of legislation that is presented to the Macon-Bibb County Commission, from resolutions approving contracts to ordinances amending the County Code. Some months, the Assistant County Attorneys prepare over 40 legislative items, which each require legal research, communication between various County departments, County administration, and elected officials, and legal drafting. Additionally, the Assistant County Attorneys draft, negotiate, and review contracts to be entered into by the County; advise County department heads, administration, and elected officials on legal matters; and serve as parliamentarians to various County boards.
The Macon-Bibb County Attorney’s Office also does a significant amount of litigation in-house. Primarily, the in-house litigation is focused on prosecuting blight, nuisance abatement, and school-zone speeding cases. These litigation efforts include appearing in court almost every week. We also have a complex nuisance enforcement program that has included bringing several cases in superior court, and have a current case pending in the Georgia Supreme Court.
