Criminal Justice Division
Office of Special Investigation—New York City or Suffolk
Assistant Attorney General for Information Access
Reference No. OSI_AAG/IA_3762
Application Deadline is February 21, 2025
The Office of the New York State Attorney General’s (OAG) Office of Special Investigation (OSI) is seeking an Assistant
Attorney General (AAG) for Information Access. The AAG is primarily responsible for managing OSI’s records access
requests (i.e., Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests). This position is either in the New York City of Suffolk
office and reports directly to OSI’s Bureau Chief.
In conjunction with OAG’s FOIL Office and supported by a team of Digital Evidence Analysts, the AAG is responsible
for tracking OSI’s FOIL requests, resolving legal and other issues related to records access, and ensuring all
requests receive a timely response. Also in conjunction with OAG’s FOIL Office, the AAG will provide training and
guidance to OSI attorneys and staff on records access matters.
OSI’s members investigate incidents throughout the state in which a police officer or a peace officer (including a
corrections officer) has caused the death of a person. If warranted, OSI’s attorneys seek charges in connection with
the incident and prosecute any resulting indictment. The AAG position provides a unique and exciting opportunity to
join a team of experienced felony and homicide prosecutors, legal support staff, and detective investigators who
work together to enhance transparency and strengthen public trust in the criminal justice system.
Duties:
Directly supervise up to four (4) Digital Evidence Analysts.
Ensure OSI’s FOIL requests are reviewed, evaluated, tracked, prioritized, and processed in a timely fashion
and according to OAG policies and state law.
In coordination with OSI attorneys and analysts, determine which evidentiary materials are subject to
disclosure, and which are covered by legal exemptions from disclosure.
Assist OSI’s attorneys and analysts with determining what information needs to be redacted from disclosed
materials (including redactions to video evidence) and the legal basis for those redactions. (Please note
because the videos in OSI’s cases relate to homicide investigations, they may have images and audio that
some may find disturbing.)
Track every OSI FOIL request and its status to make sure each request receives a timely response, or, when
needed, request and obtain an extension of time.
Regularly interface and liaise with OAG’s FOIL Office for the final decision on what to disclose, what to
withhold, and what to redact for every FOIL request.
In conjunction with OAG’s FOIL Office, develop internal trainings, guidelines, and resource materials for OSI’s
attorneys and analysts.
Develop a detailed knowledge of FOIL law as it relates to criminal investigations and prosecutions and
remain current on changes.
Develop strong working relationships with internal partners and stakeholders such as OAG’s FOIL Office.
Required Qualifications:
A minimum of four years (4) of legal experience as either a criminal prosecutor and/or defense attorney.
Excellent legal research and writing skills.
Organized with a high attention to detail and accuracy.
Strong time management skills—must be capable of self-managing priorities and deadlines.
Highly collaborative with effective interpersonal and relationship management skills, including the ability to
use “people skills” to keep others on task and on time.
Sound judgement with the ability to handle and maintain sensitive and confidential information.
Technological proficiency and the ability to learn and use new software applications as needed.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
Experience processing and responding to information requests such as Article 245 criminal discovery, New
York FOIL, Federal FOIA, etc.
Experience supervising, training, coaching, and mentoring support staff.
Experience developing and deploying trainings.
