About the Position
The charging of a felony is one of the most challenging and important decisions a prosecutor can undertake in their duties. Careful evaluation of a submittal before charging is critical. A thorough review of available evidence and the applicable criminal statutes is necessary to ensure that cases are not charged unless there is a reasonable likelihood of conviction based on constitutionally obtained and admissible evidence. The charging decision often includes communication and coordination with law enforcement. If the suspect is in custody, the Charging Attorney may only have a few hours reviewing the submittal and making a charging decision. The Charging Attorney must be familiar with and able to navigate both MCAO and Superior Court databases competently.
This recruitment is utilized to fill Attorney II positions. The level and compensation offered will be based on education and experience provided on the application.
Attorneys hired at a level II will be compensated at a range of $35.50 - $40.41
