SUGGESTED OR PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Admission to the Bar in New York State, or admission as a law intern qualified to appear in the local criminal courts under the rules of the Appellate Division pending regular admission to the Bar.  At least two years of experience as a licensed attorney practicing in the areas of criminal law or litigation-based practice areas.

NOTE:  Individuals employed as Assistant District Attorney 2 are Public Officers and as such would normally be required to reside in Tompkins County.  However, on June 21, 2016, Tompkins County adopted Local Law No. 2 of 2016, which waives the requirement of Public Officers law and states that individuals holding said positions within the County of Tompkins shall be permitted to reside either within the County of Tompkins or any other county in New York State.  As a public officer, candidates for this position must be a citizen of the United States (either natural born or naturalized).

NOTE: Please attach a cover letter with your application.
