Justice Manual § 5-6.200

The Section is administered by a Chief, a Deputy Chief, and Assistant Chiefs. Several Assistant Chiefs are primarily responsible for supervising district court litigation, while an Assistant Chief (assisted by Senior Counsels for Appellate Matters) is primarily responsible for supervising appellate court litigation. In addition, an Assistant Chief is responsible for administration and training. The work of the Section is assigned among staff attorneys according to experience and workload. Generally speaking, the Section’s staff attorneys are organized into litigating groups by geographic region, but they are all involved to some extent with every aspect of the Section's work and there are no organizational subdivisions by subject matter. General information relating to the Section or cases within its supervision may be obtained by calling the Chief, Deputy Chief, or Assistant Chiefs, at (202) 514-2219 or by emailing them. Information on a specific case should be requested from the staff attorney assigned to that case. Where the staff attorney's name is unknown, the systems support specialist of the Section (202) 616-8042 will furnish that information.
