Travel to remote Alaskan communities may be necessary. All travel expenses are covered by the State.
The Benefits of Joining Our Team
Agency attorneys enjoy the benefits of a statewide agency - mentorship and community of over 120 attorneys statewide, training opportunities, in-house investigators, wraparound client services, funding for expert witnesses, and competitive salaries and benefits. Additionally, the Agency provides paid time off to study for the bar exam if necessary, pays annual Alaska Bar Association bar dues, and reimburses some moving expenses. Alaska allows a 10-month limited license to practice before gaining admission to the Alaska Bar Association either as a new attorney or someone who is already licensed in another state. Salary varies based on experience and location.
