Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs) in the Eastern District of Oklahoma direct the investigation and prosecution of a wide range of federal criminal matters involving organized crime, terrorism, international narcotics, child exploitation/child pornography, human trafficking, health care fraud, complex securities and fraud cases, and public corruption. The District also prosecutes violent crime cases which occur in Indian Country including homicide, sexual assault, assault, firearms and controlled substance offenses, and white collar offenses. Prior federal criminal prosecution experience is preferred. AUSAs are responsible for legal research and writing, directing investigations, case development, and case presentation in criminal cases. To be an effective federal prosecutor, the AUSA must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and the ability to work closely with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies.
Responsibilities will increase and assignments will become more complex as your training and experience progress.
