ATHENS DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE   Jul 12,  2010

The main office is located in Downtown Athens, within a few blocks of the University and about an hour or so from Atlanta. It consists of 30 staff members, including 12 ADAs.

Specifically, we are looking for someone who can jump right in and run a courtroom and not be bashful about doing so, and someone who knows how to try a case well, dotting all i's and crossing all t's.

Just as important, however, this office is looking for candidates who possess the following qualities: common sense; good people skills; initiative; integrity; a keen legal mind and skills; a strong sense of right and wrong; balancing justice with fairness; an ability to effectively multi-task; staying calm under pressure; and a sense of personal and community responsibility.

ADAs will have an opportunity, but are not required, to assist the DA in teaching a Trial Practice class at the University of Georgia Law School. Salary is based on experience. The person hired would move into a county-funded position but may be able to move to a state-paid position in the near future.
