The Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel (OCDC) is the agency established by the Supreme Court of Missouri to handle ethical complaints involving lawyers.  In this interesting and important position, staff counsel investigates allegations that a lawyer has violated the Rules of Professional Conduct and prosecutes those cases where the lawyer’s misconduct poses a threat to the public or to the integrity of the legal profession.

The OCDC is located in Jefferson City, but welcomes qualified candidates from across the state.  Some travel required.  While there are times when Staff Counsel would be expected to be in Jefferson City, this position allows for some remote work. 

The OCDC offers a generous benefit package that includes insurance (health, dental, vision, life) and retirement benefits. 

Annual starting salary ranges from $80,000 – $92,000, but actual salary will be commensurate with experience.
