Assistant District Attorney Positions
with the Kings County
District Attorney’s Office
|
The
Kings County District Attorney's Office
The Kings County District Attorney’s Office is one of the
largest and busiest prosecutor's offices in the nation, serving over two
million residents in ethnically and culturally diverse Brooklyn, New
York. Led by District Attorney Charles J. Hynes, the office is a partner
with the Brooklyn community and other law enforcement agencies.
Each year over 2,500 graduates from law schools
representing all regions across the nation apply for a limited number
of positions.
The District Attorney has committed his legal career to
public service and considers it an honor to serve in this capacity. He
is a life long advocate of public service and expects attorneys who work
with the office to view the profession in the same regard. Applicants
should demonstrate a sound work ethic and a willingness to embrace
challenge in an environment that is time consuming and deadline
oriented. New assistant district attorneys can expect to fully
participate in every aspect of investigating and prosecuting crime, up
to and including presenting a case to a judge and jury.
Compensation in salary and benefits is competitive for
the market and new assistants will have the benefit of courtroom
experience early in their career. At this time, we only hire graduates
after they have passed the New York State Bar Examination. New classes
of Assistant District Attorneys begin in January.
