other cases involving city government and programs.
The ideal candidate will have graduated from law school
in 2014 or earlier, and have a demonstrated interest in appellate practice, as
evidenced by at least a one-year appellate clerkship or research position with
an appellate court, or having participated in briefing at least two appellate
cases. All employees of the City of Chicago must be actual residents of the
