Job Category: Project and Program Management Time Type: Full time Minimum Clearance Required to Start: DOJ MBI Employee Type: Regular Percentage of Travel Required: Up to 10% Type of Travel: Continental US * * * Responsibilities ENRD requires support in conducting comprehensive searches into the various conveyance documents that predecessor railroad entities obtained to construct, operate, and maintain railways. ENRD requests a Law Clerk with Title Examiner experience or background in real estate records. The Clerk’s principal responsibilities would include locating, retrieving, reviewing, organizing, and summarizing various title documents. Most of these title documents, which show how the railroad acquired its interest in a given rail corridor, were entered into in the late 1800s or early 1900s. These documents typically are handwritten and often contain terminology that differs from modern-day documents. Title documents are obtained from the railroad, the non-profit organization or local governmental entity that has been designated as the operator of the recreational trail, or local county records. Additionally, historical documents and maps are obtained from the National Archives Records Administration (“NARA”) and other parties. The Law Clerk is expected to contact each of these sources and retrieve documents related to landowners’ claims. Frequently, these documents can be obtained from county offices or from the current railroad company without the need for travel. However, periodic trips to the NARA facilities in College Park, MD, or to the local county offices may be required to manually search and locate relevant documents. Once documents and related materials are obtained, the Law Clerk will review the materials and work with the assigned trial attorneys to determine the legal significance of each document. Emphasis will be given to the title effect, i.e., fee-simple vs. mere easement, resulting from each (individual) parcel’s review. In the course of reviewing relevant title documents, the Law Clerk may prepare Microsoft Excel spreadsheets that summarize the critical contents of the railroad conveyances, including recording information, legal description, and the legal consequences of the document. Additionally, by reviewing existing maps or working in conjunction with the GIS Analysts, the individual would then list those conveyances by the landowners’ individual parcels. The individual will need to have a strong working knowledge of document management software (such as Relativity) so as to have ready access to the documents summarized in the Excel spreadsheet. This individual must also be able to assist in preparing these documents for use as exhibits for court filings and for trial. Moreover, the Law Clerk will need to be able to identify 1) gaps in the historical title record relating to a railroad’s ownership interest, 2) inconsistencies in historic conveyances, and 3) inadequate proof of current landowner’s ownership of adjoining property. In addition to identifying these deficiencies in the above-referenced Excel spreadsheet, the individual will need to convert these deficiencies into narrative form for the assigned trial attorneys’ use in communications with opposing counsel and the court. Furthermore, the Law Clerk will need to analyze attorney fees submitted by opposing counsel, organize the data in an Excel spreadsheet, use macros, and compile or assist in compiling objections to submissions on behalf of the United States.
