Fall Internship Opportunity: Brooklyn DA


The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office is accepting applications from college students for unpaid internships with our office during the fall school term.

The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office is one of the largest prosecutor's offices in the country, serving 2.5 million residents of Brooklyn. Brooklyn is one of the most dynamic business and cultural centers of New York, and, by number of residents, the 3rd largest city in the country. Our Office partners with the community at large by working with local and regional community groups as well as other law enforcement agencies to improve public safety, to increase the quality of life for the community, and to ensure all its citizens are treated fairly, justly and with compassion. With the arrival of District Attorney Kenneth P. Thompson in January, 2014, the Office is positioned to become the preeminent platform for the criminal justice system in the nation, making this an especially exciting time to join the Office. Our goal is to hire the best and most committed public servants. Our ADAs come from a diversity of backgrounds and we are committed to hiring and retaining lawyers and staff who represent a wide range of diversity in every sense of the word.

College intern duties may include trial preparations, such as interviewing witnesses with Assistant District Attorneys, and drafting subpoenas; duties supporting community related programming may involve organizing special events and trainings.  Interns are assigned to one of the specialized bureaus listed below or to a general trial zone.  Applications should include a copy of your resume, a one-page statement of interest (not longer than 1 page) indicating which area(s) of the office you are most interested in, along with a copy of your resume, college transcript, and three references.  Language skills in Spanish, Creole, and Russian are helpful but not required.

Interested? Applications should be sent in ASAP. For more info and to apply, head to CareerLink, Job ID# 34369.
