The Chicago Police Board seeks a highly-qualified attorney to serve as a Hearing Officer. The Hearing Officer’s primary responsibility is to conduct disciplinary hearings of cases involving allegations of misconduct by Chicago police officers.

The Board is seeking an attorney with extensive trial experience, an in-depth knowledge of the law and procedure, excellent oral- and written-communication skills, and an ability to present complex legal and factual issues clearly and impartially to the Board members.
