Does anyone know how strict the residency requirement is for Nassau? It says that Rice may make exceptions, but does anyone know anything specific on the policy?

Don't know. They want an answer by c.o.b. tuesday, which indicates they want to make contingency offers quickly, if necessary. Will anyone else be joining me?
Thanks for the info. Did they indicate at all how big the incoming class is going to be?
No. I didn't ask, and they don't seem to really volunteer info.

As of this morning, Queens has hired 14 and not sure how many more offers they can make (not that they are stopping there, but still assessing their budget). They think maybe more offers will go out in June.

QUEENS DA INQUIRY: So I have heard that Queens is on "hold" with respect to offers, but that they plan on making more sometime in mid June. That said, this information is second hand, and accordingly, I was wondering if anyone could confirm that information, as well as provide any other information that may be of interest to those still awaiting a final determination from Queens.

I have also heard that they are still conducting 2nd and 3rd round interviews which, to say the least, is a bit frustrating and off-putting, albeit understandable. Anyone else hear that.

Thanks

I though Nassau Was done; I heard that DA Rice had planned to finish extending all offers by the first week in June, but I heard that a month ago.

That said, with DA Rice posting all the photos of the Johns, and sending drunk drivers to jail for 25 to life, it seems to be more of a political organization than a DA's office.

Anybody have any updates regarding Queens. I heard they still have offers to make....

DA's offices are political organizations. A natural consequence of having to raise money, be nominated by a political party, and get people to vote for you. It would be unusual for politics to not figure into higher-level policy decisions in most elected DA's offices. As long as the ADA hiring isn't political (and I didn't get the sense that it is there) and politics do not affect day-to-day prosecutorial decisions, I don't see the problem. Perhaps a more Continental style system would be better, but this is what we have.

I have an update from Queens: I was told [directly] that they DO have more offers to make and that they hope to start making them next week [they want to finish all the scheduled interviews before the get back to making offers]

As to Nassau: I agree that a DA office, as most everything in the public sphere, is intertwined with Political motives, desires etc. That said, there is a way to accomplish political motives without overt acts that are clearly politically motivated; and I know that DA Rice is excellent at doing that. A prime example of that being her Terrace-Bedell "High Point" initiative in Hempstead which was a huge success in combatting the Hempstead "open air" drug market, but which also had political benefits for DA Rice.

That is very different from choosing to just post all the photos of Johns who were recently arrested. That is a political move with minimal, if any, actual value to combat the horrible collateral consequences of Prostitution. It is a political move cloaked as an effort to curb Prostitution, where in reality it is just a move to get DA Rice's name back in the spotlight. ADA's and DA's have a huge responsibility to the community, and that responsibility extends to, and perhaps is even heightened for, those members of the community charged with criminal conduct; the posting of photos was not in accord with such responsibility and arguably violated the duty owed to the Nassau Community.
