CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Deputy District Attorney I is the entry level classification in this flexible series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform the less difficult and non-controversial assignments in the District Attorney’s Office under the direction and guidance of the District Attorney and more senior attorneys. Incumbents normally advance to the higher level of Deputy District Attorney II after gaining experience, achieving proficiency and demonstrating the ability to perform tasks as assigned that meet the requirements for Deputy District Attorney II.

Deputy District Attorney II is the journey level classification in this flexible series. Under general supervision, through formal and informal work review, incumbents perform a full range of assignments. Positions at this level are normally filled by advancement from the Deputy District Attorney I level.

Deputy District Attorney III is the advanced journey level classification in this flexible series. Incumbents handle complex and difficult legal matters and assignments, and may provide training and technical expertise to lower level Deputy District Attorneys. A high level of independence in handling cases and assignments is expected at this level.

Deputy District Attorney IV is the most experienced level classification in this flexible series. Incumbents handle the most complex and sensitive legal assignment requiring an experienced prosecutor with specialized training using independent judgment and discretion. Deputy District Attorneys IV’s may provide direction and training to less experienced staff attorneys and assist in supervising the daily operations of the Office.
