Responsibilities
How to navigate the court system: Some days you'll be assigned the docket for all the cases coming before a judge that day. Since every judge is different, you will learn the nuances of working within the system efficiently and professionally as you represent the entire office
The thrill of preparing for and conducting trials: You will experience firsthand the excitement and complexity of everything from preparing witnesses for trial, jury selection and trial presentation to help the jury make an informed and just decision
Plea negotiation with defense attorneys: In your first year you'll be negotiating with highly seasoned and skilled litigators. It will be a crash course in negotiation techniques, judgment, fairness and doing the right thing (our motto!)
The influence of a prosecutor: You will review criminal cases, decide on whether to charge and, which, if any, charges are appropriate. You will decide a plea offer that best serves the community, and when negotiations fail, how to win your case at trial
