Employment Opportunities for Assistant U.S. Attorneys
Assistant United States Attorneys are some of the best and the brightest lawyers in the nation. Candidates who meet the high standards of the Office are assigned to work in one of three areas: Criminal, Civil or Tax. While there is no "typical" Assistant United States Attorney, most attorneys who begin working in the office have several years of litigation experience beyond law school.
Employment for all positions is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of a background investigation by the Department of Justice. This is a thorough investigation that includes checks with present and former employers, military records and credit bureaus. The investigation also includes verifications of tax filings and attendance at institutions of higher learning. Those who are selected are subject to drug testing by urinalysis. United States citizenship is required.
EXCEPT WHERE OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW, THERE IS NO DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE OF COLOR, RACE, RELIGION, NATIONAL ORIGIN, POLITICS, MARITAL STATUS, DISABILITY, AGE, SEX, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, MEMBERSHIP OR NONMEMBERSHIP IN AN EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATION, OR ON THE BASIS OF PERSONAL FAVORITISM
