Here's what you'll learn in your first year as a prosecutor that they didn't teach you in law school: * 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.

You will decide a plea offer that best serves the community, and when negotiations fail, how to win your case at trial. While your journey starts in the misdemeanor unit, advancement and opportunity can come quickly. Sometime soon you will get a call in the middle of the night inviting you to shadow one of our top prosecutors at the scene of a homicide. We encourage you to increase your learning, skills and experiences to eventually prosecute the most challenging and difficult felony cases. What's Different about the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office? * We support you at every step along the journey. You'll have access to, and be mentored by, some of the best, brightest and most seasoned prosecutors in the State of Oregon. Our environment is not sink or swim. You will have true and trusted mentors who will guide you throughout your career. * This office distinguishes itself from others by allowing each DDA the autonomy to do what's right, while offering guidance, support, collaboration with peers and resources needed to get the job done. * With over 400,000 citizens and 1800 square miles that include Oregon's tallest mountain and its second largest river, this County has it all! * We have one of the highest retention rates because people like working and living in Clackamas County. It's not just a job, it's a lifelong career. * Each DDA in this office carries a caseload from charging to sentencing -- always advocating for what is ethically, morally, and legally right. We embrace and insist on diversity including ethnic, cultural, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability and diversity of ideas and viewpoints. Our ability to serve our community requires varied perspectives and insights. We invite you to bring your ideas and life experiences and apply those to the work of the DA's office.
