About the Work: Habeas Corpus Trial Practice

This position gives attorneys the immediate opportunity to serve as lead trial counsel for a full caseload of post-conviction cases for indigent inmates.

Habeas corpus cases are civil proceedings, but the underlying issues involve criminal law and criminal procedure. The practice offers an extraordinary opportunity to build real trial experience quickly — laying a foundation for handling any type of litigation or advanced legal work.

We provide extensive training and mentorship to help our attorneys develop the skills necessary to provide exceptional representation to clients.

Lead Counsel Training and Mentorship

Attorneys in this position are trained and mentored by Supervising Attorney Jade Saginor.

Attorney Saginor has handled numerous trials and contested evidentiary hearings as lead counsel over the past nine years. She uses the firm’s case management and trial preparation systems, developed and refined by Managing Attorney Damon Kirschbaum and others at the firm over the course of more than 26 years.

Through direct training, hands-on experience, and structured mentorship, attorneys in this role will develop courtroom advocacy skills, case strategy expertise, and client communication techniques essential for a lifetime of litigation practice.

Remote Position

This is, and always will be, a fully remote position.

The firm has supported remote attorneys for more than seven years. Attorneys are never required to work in an office but may use our conference room in Manchester as needed.

Location Requirement

Although the position is remote, applicants must live in or near Connecticut. You must be available to visit incarcerated clients regularly and appear in court in Connecticut as needed.

Compensation

Salary range: $113,000 - $146,900 per year
