The Office of Legal Affairs consists of the Staff Attorneys’ Office and the Office of Staff Counsel (CAMP). The Staff Attorneys’ Office assists the Court by conducting research into specific areas of law as determined by the Court and provides written memoranda of law. This work encompasses both substantive and procedural issues. Staff Attorney Law Clerks work on all substantive motions and pro se appeals. All procedural motions go through the Office of Legal Affairs.

Staff Attorneys develop substantial expertise in the areas of habeas corpus, prisoners’ rights, constitutional law, civil rights and employment discrimination. Staff Attorneys are appointed for two year term period. Depending on performance can be asked to stay for yearly appointments up to five years.
