The Bronx District Attorney is committed to serving the over 1.4 million members of the Bronx County community through the Office’s groundbreaking mission of “Pursuing Justice with Integrity” by fulfilling our duty to victims and providing fairness to defendants. We are looking for a diverse staff that reflects the community we serve. The Homicide Bureau is composed of some of the most seasoned and experienced prosecutors working in one of the busiest offices in the country. While the Bronx accounts for 16% of the population of the City of New York, it saw 31% of the homicides in 2021. With the increase in violence and homicides in the Bronx, we are currently seeking experienced trial attorneys to join the Homicide Bureau. Prosecutors with a minimum of seven years and five felony jury trials will be considered. Reporting to the Chief of Homicide, with latitude for independent judgment, Homicide ADAs handle complex and sensitive cases from investigation through trial.
