The Office of the Post-Conviction Defender is now accepting applications for an assistant post-conviction defender and an investigator. As part of a team, both the assistant post-conviction defender and the investigator will work with one another and with paralegals on behalf of clients to develop both guilt and innocence and sentencing claims, as well as grounds for clemency. The assistant defender must have a law license or eligibility for admittance to the Tennessee State Bar within six months of being employed. A law license isn’t required for the investigator position and all levels of experience will be considered. Read more on both positions and learn how to apply here.
