Assistant Corporation Counsel – Tort, State Law Enforcement Defense Unit

State Law Enforcement Defense Unit (“SLED”) Intake Attorneys are responsible for reviewing, analyzing, preparing, and updating incoming alleged-police-misconduct cases assigned to the SLED Unit and supervising the SLED Intake support professionals. The Intake team is responsible for sending out initial requests for records and following up as needed. This process is essential to the team’s efforts to refer cases for early settlement and to provide court-ordered discovery once a CSO/PC is issued. The attorneys also engage in motion practice, including but not limited to motions to change venue, motions to dismiss on procedural grounds, and defending default motions. Lastly, they prepare CSO responses, as per the unique requirements in alleged-police-misconduct CSOs that travel on an expedited path. After the completion of orientation, attorneys hired by the Law Department will have the opportunity to elect to work from home under one of two programs, with options for limited remote work or a Citywide pilot program allowing two set work-from-home days per week.
