About the Office:

The Criminal Division of the USAO for the District of Arizona has primary responsibility for prosecuting federal crimes in and relating to Arizona.  Our extensive criminal practice is broken into five sections:

  1. Violent Crimes 1 and 2 (e.g., homicides, sexual assaults, and other major offenses committed on Native American reservations); Violent Crimes 3 (e.g., bank robberies, firearms offenses including gun trafficking, gang cases, assaults on Federal officers, child exploitation, and human trafficking);
  2. Southwest Border Crimes (e.g., illegal re-entry of aliens after deportation, alien smuggling, and drug seizures at the ports of entry);
  3. Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) and Asset Forfeiture (e.g., large-scale narcotics trafficking organizations);
  4. Financial Crimes and Public Corruption (e.g., securities or mortgage fraud, bribery of public officials); and
  5. National Security (e.g., domestic and international terrorism, international smuggling and export violations, and economic espionage).

We also have an appellate practice, which draws cases from the five groups described above.  We are seeking volunteer law student externs for summer 2023.  Law student externs have opportunities for direct involvement in all of our practice areas.

Job Description:
