Grammar
Hopefully easy question on capitalization
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
I am an attorney working for the government. The duties of my job position mostly involve considering legal requests called "petitions." My job title is "Petitions Attorney." I am unclear as to when the first letters in "Petitions Attorney" should be capitalized.
Are the following correct or incorrect?
I am a Petitions Attorney.
My coworkers include 10 other petitions attorneys.
Petitions Attorneys are a type of attorney working for the federal government.
Petitions Attorney John Smith has worked for the government for 10 years.
Five petitions attorneys were transferred from location X to location Y.
I look forward to learning the correct way to capitalize the words in the sentences above.

- The usual convention is not to capitalize, unless it is in a context where you really want to stress that this is your job title.
- eg I ask you what kind of work you do.
