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. There may also be a small summer class.

Interested applicants should forward a cover letter, resume, writing
sample and statement of interest. The statement of interest should illustrate

Hynes.
