About this Job

A good job description starts with an attention-grabbing summary of the position and its role within your company. Your summary should provide an overview of your company and expectations for the position. Outline the types of activities and responsibilities required for the job so job seekers can determine if they are qualified, or if the job is suitable for them.

Example of a Lawyer job summary

Our criminal defense firm needs to add another Lawyer to our roster to manage increasing inquiries from clients. We operate a busy and highly successful practice with six Lawyers already in place. You will join us in upholding our clients’ rights and providing them with the best possible defense against the crimes with which they’ve been charged. We work primarily with drug, assault and battery, burglary and larceny charges, but we are willing to allow new partners to expand their practices as they see fit. We operate a highly collaborative office in which each professional helps the others to ensure all of our clients receive the best possible service.

Lawyer responsibilities and duties

The responsibilities and duties section is the most important part of the job description. Here you should outline the functions this position will perform on a regular basis, how the job functions within the organization and the title of the manager the person will report to.

  • Meet with clients in your office or at the local jail to discuss pending charges and to devise defense strategies
  • Collect retainers from clients and execute contracts that specify the parameters of the working relationship
  • Research cases by interviewing witnesses, reading depositions, reviewing evidence and speaking with the client to determine the best strategy for defense
  • Attend all pretrial hearings on behalf of clients and advise clients following each hearing about the best strategies
  • Provide legal guidance and support
  • Assist clients with executing plea bargains and other agreements with the district Lawyer’s office
  • Advise clients about appropriate behavior while charges are pending, including social media use and confiding in friends and family

Lawyer qualifications and skills

Next, outline the required and preferred skills for your position. This may include education, previous job experience, certifications and technical skills. You may also include soft skills and personality traits that you expect from a successful candidate. While it may be tempting to include a long list of skills and requirements, including too many could dissuade qualified candidates from applying. Keep your list of qualifications concise, but provide enough detail with relevant keywords and terms.
