Manage document organization and review workflows, including deduplication scope, quality control, indexing, search criteria, field structure, metadata considerations, and production readiness.

Maintain inventories of materials produced pursuant to subpoena and prepare outlines, chronologies, logs, and tracking tools for documents, exhibits, and evidence.

Liaise with law enforcement agencies, defense counsel, third-party vendors, AUSAs, the taint/privilege review team, and Criminal and Civil Division personnel regarding documents, investigative strategy, and key case information.

Use litigation support and legal technology tools such as Relativity, Law Prediscovery, SQL, NUIX, Concordance, iPro, iConnect, CaseMap, Palantir, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF as appropriate for case needs.

Assist with graphical presentations, demonstrative exhibits, government presentations, trial exhibits, special presentation projects, and other visual materials that help communicate complex evidence.

Independent Judgment, Workflow Management, and Communication

Receive assignments from USAO Management and AUSAs that are defined by overall objectives, deadlines, scope, and expected results, while independently determining appropriate principles, practices, and methods to complete the work.

Evaluate circumstances, consider alternative approaches, and address incomplete or conflicting data while applying judgment and originality to litigation support tasks.

Meet with attorneys, investigators, agency IT personnel, vendors, and staff to plan litigation support, evaluate ESI storage and retrieval methods, and provide guidance on complex litigation support issues.

Develop, organize, and present training or user guidance for AUSAs and staff on litigation support software, case-data organization, or related technology workflows.
