The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office would like to congratulate all the students who are graduating this month from college and high school. As you are celebrating this achievement, you’re also looking to the future and what type of career would be meaningful for you.
MCAO offers unique opportunities for those looking to build a career in a variety of roles. If you’re interested in a career in law and making a difference in your community, becoming a prosecutor may be what you’re looking for. Our office prosecutes criminal cases that have been submitted by law enforcement after they’ve completed their investigation.
Prosecutors—or Deputy County Attorneys—truly serve the community. They seek to ensure justice is achieved for victims and defendants and are a crucial component to public safety. That means treating each case individually on its own merits. Our office seeks dedicated individuals to prosecute felony cases and protect the public from crime.
We employ approximately 300 Deputy County Attorneys who practice many areas of the law, including:
- Homicide
- Sex Crimes
- Fraud and ID Theft
- Vehicular Crimes
- Family Violence
- Counsel to County Government
- Gangs and Organized Crime
- Juvenile Offenses
- Appeals
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office provides new attorneys with a comprehensive training program to prepare them for a career in law. Using an approach that pairs new attorneys with mentors, new attorneys receive hands-on experience as they receive immediate courtroom experience. As a Deputy County Attorney, you can be on the front lines to providing justice for all.
