The District Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn, one of the largest prosecutors’ offices in the country, has openings for new and experienced attorneys seeking flexible work schedules and the opportunity to do truly meaningful work in a vitally important section of our Office. The Kings County District Attorney’s Office is seeking qualified candidates to serve as Assistant District Attorneys in the Early Case Assessment Bureau (ECAB) which is open every day, morning and night, as well as holidays. This is a highly flexible position, and qualified candidates will have the opportunity to work full-time and/or part-time schedules. ADAs in this position will work in a hybrid remote and in-person environment and will be able to work some nights, weekends, and holidays remotely.
Processing the vast majority of the thousands of arrests made in Brooklyn each year, ECAB provides Assistants with a rare opportunity to work with cases of all kinds across all areas of criminal law at a critical stage of the proceedings. In a fast-paced environment that requires sound judgment and attention to detail while allowing for significant latitude and initiative, ECAB Assistants receive new arrests, interview police (and sometimes other) witnesses, and prepare a factual narrative summarizing the case. Assistants will then work collaboratively with supervisors as the Office’s charging decision is made, drafting the charging document (complaint) for cases that will proceed and declining to prosecute or diverting those that will not. Assistants are also responsible for preparing notices and case files necessary for arraignment.
ECAB assistants will also have the opportunity to arraign misdemeanor and felony cases. Arraignments and their outcomes – particularly bail settings – draw significant scrutiny, and bail was one of the District Attorney Eric Gonzalez’s first key reform initiatives. Arraignment ADAs will have a unique trust and responsibility in the Office and will be required to make fair decisions everyday while making Brooklyn safer.
