Approved For Mean 2p05102117 : CdIA-RPP8~IV~PRj ?, Qli P9r~S rlor professional experi
Thls is an advanced full performancve requiring cons) crab o e. ence.
Performs a variety of legal questions, problems, or cases. Prepares draft opinions or other kinds of legal work on legal questions
involved in such areas as claims, taxation, regulatory functions, licensing, labor laws, etc., when the questions are complicated by the
absence of legal precedents clearly and directly applicable to the case, or by the different possible constructions which might be placed
on either the facts or the laws and precedents involved. Typically specializes in one legal field (e.g., labor law, real estate, contracts,
etc.). The attorney is expected to independently investigate the facts, search out precedents, define the legal and factual issues, draft all
necessary documents, opinions. etc., and present conclusions and recommendations for review. Guidance from superiors during this
process occurs only if the problem is clearly more difficult than normal. The final product is reviewed carefully, but primarily for overall
soundness of legal reasoning and consistency with policy, rather than for accuracy of technical detail. (NOT INCLUDED in this level are
positions limited to work of ordinary or lesser difficulty and therefore requiring only a few years of prior professional experience.)

A. Organization,nl Relat:lonsli.ips
This level may include either: A. position;, of chief legal officer
for activities equivalent to a medium size bureau performing several.
closely related functions or; B. positions, reporting to a senior attorney,
which direct all legal work for one or more major operating programs of an
agency.
B. Nautre, Importance, and Scope of Function Performed or Directed
Positions of type A are responsible for directing legal programs of very
substanital scope and impact (e.g., those concerned with defense contract
audit services). Incumbents review policy issuances of the organization for
legal sufficiency, represent and serve as legal adviser for the oranizati.on
in courts of law and appearances before Congressional Committees. Prepares
authoritative interpretations of laws and administrative decisions which have
a direct impact on the total operations of the organization. Extremely large
sums of money are involved in the legal cases (i.e., millions of dollars).
Major industries, or segments thereof, are frequently involved in legal
disputes, which are vigorously contested by top legal talent.
(f D -`'
Positions of type B are responsible for large segments of an agency's
legal program (e.g., legal work incident to controls on marketing and distribu-
tion of agricultural products, virus serums and toxins and related commodities).
The impact of legal decisions is similar to that described for type A positions.
In the case of type B regulatory positions a large number of regulatory statutes
are involved, and a major segment of the population is affected". as the consu::,ers
of the regulated commodity or service. Direct a moderate size staff of attorneys,
several (e.g., 5 or snore) of whom are performing legal work equivalent to the
GS-15 level.
C. Degree of Responsibility for the Function
In the case of chief counsel positions the legal work is not subject to
technical review within the organization. Type B positions work is similarly
not subject to technical review. However, it is subject to check as to correla-
tion with legal work done in other segments of the organization, and for ad-
herence to very general policy guidelines of the agency.
The incumbents are responsible for providing legal opinions on any problems,
questions or anticipated issues which fall under his jurisdiction. Also re-
sponsible for drafting, interpreting and preparing agency testimony on proposed
legislation. Is frequently concerned with questions of how the organization
is affected by various interpretations of laws, regulations, or proposed legis-
lation.
Errors in legal judgment could result in suits, and expenditures of consider-
able time and money. In the case of the regulatory agencies, errors in inter-
preting or setting standards could create serious injuries or inequities.
D. Technical/Managerial Knowledge Requirements
A skilled attorney with an intense knowledge of the specialty area involved
is require dtltlqq~b'V+ NfU0lVgAf~'cJc0 '~nunctions of

an equal depth of understanding of the i.ndu.;Cry or function in question as well
as the bns:[c authorizing legislation and precedcnL mater al..
E. Interpersonal Work Relationships
Type A positions deals regularly with the head of the organization and his
immediate staff, functioning as their personal legal advisor. Contacts are also
made regularly with top legal personnel of the Agency for broad policy issues.
Type B positions regularly consult with a senior attorney level. in their
agencies, yet are considered the legal specialists in their program areas.

A. Clr.};;in;(.rataoi~al_ RelaLionships
Positions at this level. may include either: A. Chief Counsels for a larc
bureau (or equivalent) of a major cabinet department; or B. positions responshible
for all legal work connected with several major operating programs of the depart-
nient.
B. Nature, Importance and Scope of Function Performed or Directed
Positions of type A at this level, perform functions similar in type to
those at GS-16. They are differentiated from those at the next lower level in
terms of size, scope, and impact of the legal program directed. The organi-
zation itself is larger, more complex and performs more diverse functions which
generate a wider variety of very complex legal problems. Programs are usually
nationwide in their impact, affect major industries (e.g., transportation)
and frequently involves complex issues si..ch as Federa/State/local relationships
associated with National Highway Programs.
Positions of type B are found in those major cabinet departments which
administer programs so diverse and complex that the legal office is organized
along the broad functional lines of the department (e.g., the rural development
and conservation function consisting of five major departmental programs).
By contrast, positions at the next lower level are typically responsible for
all legal work on one or more of the five programs cited above.
C. Degree of Responsibility for the Function
Positions of type A operate without technical direction. They are relied
upon to establish and implement a comprehensive legal program which is adequate
in furthering the aims and goals of the organization. Type B positions also
operate virtually free from technical review. However, they are apprised by
senior legal officers of general agen-y policy constraints. Incumbents supervise
work on litigation, regulation recorlm ndations, enforcement, contracts, grants,
and legal opinions, deciding what legal approaches or methods best serve the
needs of the agency.
D. Technical/Managerial Knowledge Requirements
Legal knowledges and skills are similar to those required at the GS-16
level. Managerial demands of directing legal programs of much wider scope
and diversity are significantly greater at this level.
F. Interpersonal. Work Relationships
Similar in type to those described at the GS-16 level. However, because
of the increased scope and complexity of type A positions, incumbents have
increased contacts with the organization head. Type B positions regularly
contact the chief legal counsels for the agency and frequently represent the
agency when legal questions arise in their program area.

A. Organizational Relationships
Positions at this level include general counsels for major independent
.ageecies (e.g., FTC, ICC) or top legal officers in extremely broad and complex
functional areas where there is intense interest from the public or business
community in the legal work done (e.g., regulatory agencies). Regardless of
organizational echelon these positions represent their agencies as the top legal
expert and report to the Commissioner/Administrator or equivalent levels.
B. Nature, Importance and Scope of Function Performed or Directed
Positions at this level are responsible for directing the preparation of
all legal opinions, reports, legislative proposals, pleadings, briefs, memorandh
and other legal documents incident to the legal work of the agency or program
area. Responsible for agency litigation in the Federal courts, including
appeals from agency decisions to the courts of appeals, and on designation of
the Solicitor General, the presentation of agency cases before the Supreme
Court. They serve as personal legal advisor to the agency head level and
immediate staff. For those agencies performing a regulatory or subsidy
function they often participate on standing boards which determine major
policy issues of the agency.
The nature of the legal program directed is such that its actions directly
affect not only entire industry groupings (e.g., agriculture) but touch upon
the entire business community, consuming public, and international relations,
(e.g., that dealing with interstate commerce, transportation, trade and shipping,
investment regulation, and Federal tax policy). In contrast, legal officers at
the next lower level direct legal programs of a more limited scope and impact.
C. Degree of Responsibility for the Function
Positions at this level are subject only to the most general administrative
direction from their agency heads. This direction may often be in terms of
priorities and broad agency goals. Incumbent's legal decisions and commitments
are in most all cases binding upon the agency. The results of their work
are judged in terms of the adequacy of the legal program in furthering the
goals of the agency.
D. Technical Knowledge Requirements
At this level incumbents are recognized nationally and internationally as
the highest legal expert for their agency's program. Legal knowledges and skills
are similar to those required at the next lower level.
E. Interpersonal Work Relationships
Public relations contacts at this level exceed those at lower levels in
terms of the need to be in constant contact with the highest levels of the
executive departments, and with key Congressional committees.

SUBJECT: Classification and Qualification Standards
To Heads of l.%epartments and Agencies:
Purpose
Attached to this Bulletin are advance copies of series definitions
and special qualification standards for interim use for the new
Paralegal Specialist Series, GS-950; and the revised Legal Clerk
and Technician Series, GS-986; and a revised series aefinition for
the Deportation and, Exclusion Examining Series, GS-942. Information
regarding these and other changes in the Legal and Kindred Group,
GS-900, is provided below: -
1. Paralegal Specialist Series, GS--950 -
This new series has been developed to meet the needs of a number of
agencies who have established paralegal positions and who plan estab-
lishment of many more such positions to provide better utilization of
legal personnel, 'Generally, these positions have been classified in
the Legal Clerical and Administrative Series, GS-986; the Legal Assist-
ance Series, .GS--954; or the Adjudicating Series, GS-960.
A large number of these positions involve the application of substantial
legal knowledge in performing responsible assignments in support of
attorneys.' .For'such positions a law degree is a desirable qualification
though not a necessary one because the work does not require full pro-
fessional legal competence; however, legal education is a consideration
in.ranking.candidates,
Because of the required level of discretion and independent judgment in
the application of substantial legal knowledge and the relevance of.
college-level education, this occupation has been identified as a two-
grade-interval occupation for which the Professional and Administrative
Career Examination (PACE)?is appropriate. Test 500 may be used as a
factor for-inservice placement; it may not be used on a pass-fail basis.

Btn. No. 930-17 (2)
Positions classifiable to the new Paralegal Specialist Series include
most positions previously classified in the Legal Assistance Series,
GS-954, and the Adjudicating Series, GS-960; these series are hereby
abolished. The Paralegal Specialist Series also includes some of the
higher level administrative positions, requiring quasi-legal knowledge,
previously classified in the Legal Clerical and Administrative Series,
GS-986.
? 2, Legal Clerk and Technician Series, GS-986
The title and series definition for this one-grade interval series have
been revised, and a new qualification standard has been provided. The
qualification standard for the Legal and Kindred Group, GS-900 (Legal
Assistant, GS-5/6 and Clerk, GS-4) issued in June 1962, is rescinded;
Inclusion of technician levels in this series provides a career bridge
Jetweet, legal clerical positions and positions in the Paralegal Specialist
Series. . .
3. Professional Legal Occupations
When the classification standard for the-General Attorney Series,
GS-905, was developed, in 1959, the Commission agreed with the-Federal
Bar Association that, by definition, professional legal work should be
that which requires bar me-nbership. At that time there were a number
of series identified as professional legal occupations not requiring
bar membership, Commission studies of these occupations have resulted
in some cases in setting up new quasi-legal series, e.g., for claims
examining and land law examining positions formerly in the Adjudicating
Series, GS-960, or in the case of Estate Tax Examining and Trade Mark
Examining, determining that the positions characteristic of the occupa-
tion did generally require professional competence and should be classified
in the General Attorney Series, GS-905. The Estate Tax Examining Series,
GS-920, and the Trade Mark Examining Series, GS-1241, were redefined as
quasi-legal series or nonprofessional series to provide an appropriate
series for those few incumbents who were not members of the bar, Thus,
the Legal Assistance Series, GS-954 and the Adjudicating Series,-GS-960,
both of which are defined as involving professional legal work not re-
quiring bar memberhsip, are anomalies not appropriate for continued use
and have been abolished. The classification standard for the Legal Assist-
ance Series, GS-954, issued in May 1951, and revised in March 1957 and
October 1965, is rescinded.
For the same reason, the series definition for the Deportation and Exclu-
sion Examining Series, GS-942, has been revised to delete reference to
professional legal work not requiring admission to the bar, (Note: The
qualification standard for the Hearings and Appeals Series, GS-930, may
be used for positions in the Deportation and Exclusion Examining Series,
GS-942, with appropriate selective factors.)

4. Implementation
The new or revised series definitions and qualification standards are
effective immediately. In order to allow agencies time to review and
reclassify positions now in the Legal Assistance Series, GS-954, and
the Adjudicating Series, GS-960, the effective date for rescission of
these two series is June 30; 1976. All reclassification actions must
be effected by that date,
