Job Description

Job Overview:

The Oakland County Prosecutor&rsquo;s Office is interviewing candidates for an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney (&ldquo;APA&rdquo;) position. The Prosecutor&rsquo;s Office represents the State of Michigan in matters before the Michigan district and circuit courts. APAs handle criminal, delinquency, neglect and family support matters. APAs routinely conduct hearings and jury and bench trials.

The Prosecutor&rsquo;s Office is looking for candidates who want to make a difference in their community, who can make a connection with victims, judges, jurors and their colleagues, and who have a strong work ethic and academic background. Experience in juvenile or criminal justice, including experience before, during or after law school, is a plus. APAs are expected to diligently review and prepare their files, research legal issues, advocate in front of judges and juries, and exercise good judgment. APAs must uphold the highest ethical standards at all times. As an APA, you are a minister of justice, and you are empowered to do the right thing in every case. APAs receive valuable training and experience that you can&rsquo;t get anywhere else.

Responsibilities and Duties:

Responsibilities vary by assignment. However, most APAs will perform expert review of facts and evidence presented by law enforcement agencies regarding alleged violations of state criminal laws and determine whether a warrant should be authorized by the Prosecuting Attorney. They will determine the proper criminal charges and, using the appropriate legal language, prepare arrest warrants and other necessary legal documents in connection with such charges. At times, APAs will assist law enforcement agencies in their investigations by drafting any necessary legal documents, such as electronic surveillance warrants, subpoenas, search warrants and affidavits. 
 APAs appear in District and Circuit Courts on behalf of the people of the State of Michigan as assigned, including arraignments, bond hearings, fugitive hearings, evidentiary hearings, sentences and probation violation hearings. APAs prepare pleadings and take the legal steps necessary in connection with such proceedings. APAs also conduct trials of state law cases, including interviewing victims and witnesses, reviewing of all physical evidence, researching legal issues and undertaking all other preparation necessary for a thorough and effective representation of the people of the State of Michigan. 
 APAs negotiate pleas or other appropriate dispositions with defense attorneys on pending criminal matters consistent with the law and departmental policy. 
 At times, APAs prepare legal pleadings and written briefs in criminal appeals and present oral arguments in connection with such appeals. 
 APAs can also represent the people of the State of Michigan in Family Court hearings involving juvenile delinquency matters, neglect and abuse cases. 
 APAs may also prepare legal pleadings and appear in the District or Circuit Courts in connection with paternity suits, proceedings under the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act, or other matters handled by the Family Support Division, if assigned to that division.

Minimum Qualifications:

Minimum qualifications include graduation from an accredited law school and all candidates must be a member in good standing with the State Bar of Michigan.

Application Instructions:

All interested candidates should send application materials to Betsey Hage hageb@oakgov.com. Application materials include a cover letter, resume, unofficial law school transcript, writing sample and list of professional references.</div></div>
