The Senior Legal Analyst's duties involve, among other things, responsibility for compiling, organizing, and managing evidence for use in litigated and administrative matters, assisting attorneys in evidentiary hearings and at trial as needed, organizing and maintaining documents, communications, and information for tribal-state compact negotiations and compliance, and updating and maintaining files and databases related to the section's matters. The duties of the Senior Legal Analyst will involve the more difficult and complex of NATA's cases. The nature of the section's work requires the Senior Legal Analyst to keep a high degree of confidentiality.
