ABOUT THE STAFF ATTORNEY'S OFFICE: The Staff Attorney's Office is a central legal staff, serving the court at large rather than individual judges. The office has approximately sixty to seventy attorneys, including career supervisory staff attorneys and staff attorneys who serve staggered two-year terms. The principal task of the office is to assist in the dis-position of appeals through the preparation of legal memoranda. The types of cases the office presently handles include (1) direct criminal appeals, including appeals involving sentencing issues, (2) collateral attacks on criminal convictions by state and federal prisoners, (3) all pro se appeals, including civil rights suits under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, (4) employment discrimination appeals, (5) immigration appeals, and (6) social security appeals. There are also three specialized teams within the office. The Jurisdiction Team assists the court in the initial review of all appeals for the purpose of determining appellate jurisdiction. The Issue Tracking Team serves to track and catalog relevant legal issues. The Motions Team processes certain substantive motions, including those for in forma pauperis status, certificates of appealability, transcripts at government expense, and appointment, withdrawal, and/or substitution of counsel.
