The duties of the paralegal specialist position vary depending on the specific work of the particular section, but generally include: conducting legal and factual research; interviewing potential witnesses; reviewing and analyzing substantive information and materials, such as statistical information and transcripts of trial or deposition testimony, and communicating that analysis – both verbally and in writing (through memoranda, letters and other documents); organizing and maintaining files; and utilizing computer databases to conduct research. Frequent travel may be required.

These paralegal specialist positions are entry-level career development positions for two-year excepted service appointments through the Federal Career Intern Program (FCIP), and may lead to conversion to permanent appointment for individuals who perform satisfactorily during that two-year period.
