Full Job Description

Position Information

Advance your legal career and bring your passion for public service to the Public Defender's Office!

Starting salary negotiable up to $81.81/hour!

This extra-help (temporary) Deputy Public Defender position can be filled at the I, II, III, or IV level, depending on the candidate's qualifications. Deputy Public Defender I is an entry-level class in which incumbents initially work under the close supervision and guidance of a higher level deputy on initial assignments. After completing an orientation and training period, incumbents are assigned to cases requiring the application of greater skills, knowledge and ability in the law with less supervision as experience is gained. . As attorneys gain sufficient experience and meet or exceed performance standards, they are eligible for promotion to subsequent levels in the series, up to level IV. If you are interested in being considered at the various levels of this opportunity, you must apply to the separate, concurrent recruitments being conducted for those levels. If you are an experienced attorney, please check out our II, III, and IV-level recruitments.

When you join the Office as an extra-help Deputy Public Defender I, you will perform legal work of less complexity than higher levels, involving the investigation, preparation, and presentation of criminal and civil cases before the courts. Under the guidance of more experienced attorneys, you will work directly with clients and:

Investigate, research, prepare, and defend criminal and/or civil cases
Interpret and apply laws, court decisions, and other legal authorities for use in the preparation of cases, opinions, and briefs
Prepare pleadings and other legal documents in connection with trials, hearings, and other legal proceedings
Conduct general legal research
Interview and advise clients

As the ideal candidate, you will have a substantial interest in criminal defense work and possess many of the following:

Experience working as a law clerk or other professional legal position
Excellent research and writing abilities
Knowledge of post-conviction relief
Demonstrable excellence in public speaking
Experience in and/or with a Public Defender's office
Completion of any California Public Defender’s Association training seminars is desired, but not required
