Senior Editor – SCOTUSblog Professional Subscription job description

SCOTUSblog is launching a daily, business‑docket newsletter for appellate lawyers, corporate counsel and commercial litigators that includes circuit court decisions, relists, denials, en banc grants, notable dissents, and other procedural moves.

What You’ll Do

  • Triage federal appellate opinions and orders; identify items with business impact (e.g., securities, antitrust, L&E, IP, arbitration, class actions, bankruptcy)
  • Track SCOTUS activity (relists/denials), en banc developments, and emerging circuit splits.
  • Publish the newsletter by 11am ET, Mon–Fri (except federal holidays).
  • Fact‑check and cite‑check to newsroom standards; handle corrections transparently.
  • Help refine workflows (alerts, searches, templates, automation) that ensure full coverage daily.

    • What You’ll Bring

  • J.D. required; bar membership a plus.
  • 1-4+ years in commercial litigation, appellate practice, or a federal judicial clerkship.
  • Proven ability to read fast, synthesize accurately, and explain complex decisions clearly for non‑specialists.
  • Reliable, self‑directed work in a remote setting and strong time management.

    • Nice to Have

  • Prior federal appellate clerkship.
  • Depth in one or more: securities, antitrust, L&E, IP, class actions, arbitration, bankruptcy.
  • Experience with PACER, CourtListener/RECAP, Westlaw/Lexis/Bloomberg Law, and a newsletter CMS (Substack/Beehiiv/Mailchimp).

    • Compensation & Logistics

  • Employment type: Full‑time/W‑2.
  • Target pay: Less than your law firm, but more than you think.
  • Location: Remote with overlap to meet the daily publishing window.
  • This is editorial content, not legal advice; conflicts must be disclosed.
