Tips for a New AUSA

Post by AUSAorBust » Thu Apr 11, 2019 2:43 pm

I saw a similar topic for public defenders and thought this thread could be useful. I recently accepted a position as a criminal AUSA with no real prior criminal experience. I am interested in any tips anyone has for a new prosecutor generally or, more specifically, for a new criminal division AUSA.

What type of experience do you have? How many years out? How many times did you apply before landing it? What level school did you go to?

I realize this is not an ama but if you’re willing, I thought I’d go for it.

Sorry, I'm a bit reluctant to share my background since my work history is pretty identifiable. Might be willing to share more at some point, but for now, I'd like to err on the side of not disclosing.
