Duties

The Unites States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (USAO) handles a wide variety of challenging and impactful criminal and civil cases and has responsibility for the region covering 28 countries in roughly the eastern one-third of the state. The USAO has its main office in Milwaukee and a branch office in Green Bay.

This includes advising and/or consulting with civil and criminal case teams, management, and others, such as the Court, Federal Public Defender, law enforcement and client agencies, on substantive electronic litigation and electronic discovery issues, ensuring discovery processes are defensible, developing the office's eLitigation policies and protocols, including procedures for processing, reviewing, producing, and managing electronic discovery, coordinating litigation support work, and providing training on litigation technology software tools and applications. This is not a trial AUSA position; it does not involve case handling or litigation.
