Los Angeles, California, United States California Department of Justice Full time

The California Department of Justice is seeking highly skilled attorneys to join the Appeals, Writs, and Trials Section of the Criminal Law Division in Los Angeles.

As a Deputy Attorney General (DAG) in this section, you will handle felony criminal appeals, juvenile delinquency appeals, and related writs before the state Courts of Appeal and the California Supreme Court, including death penalty cases. Your primary responsibilities will include researching legal issues, writing persuasive briefs, and orally advocating on behalf of the People of California in court.

You will be part of a dynamic team handling some of the most challenging legal issues in criminal law, frequent constitutional issues, complex evidentiary and statutory issues, and appeals involving issues of first impression. You will also respond to habeas corpus litigation in the United States District Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court, which may involve discovery and evidentiary hearings.

In addition to your courtroom advocacy experience, you will have the opportunity to work on recusal motions and trial matters in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo Counties. This position offers a hybrid schedule under the current DOJ telework policy, allowing you to work remotely or in the office, or a combination of both, with some in-office attendance required.

To be successful in this role, you must possess strong legal research and writing skills, as well as excellent oral communication skills. You should also have knowledge of criminal laws and procedures, and be willing to travel as required for court appearances, meetings, or other operational needs.

The estimated salary range for this position is $7,737.00 - $14,954.00 per month, based on your level of experience and qualifications. As a DAG, you will receive a competitive salary, along with comprehensive benefits, including health/dental/vision insurance, pension retirement, and job stability. You will also have access to flexible paid leave options, consistent wage increases, and public service loan forgiveness (PSLF).

The ideal candidate will be an active member of the California State Bar, with a strong understanding of California's criminal laws and procedures. If you are passionate about justice and committed to serving the people of California, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
