Hiring Process for Attorneys

Law students and attorneys seeking employment as assistant public defenders must submit a resume and writing sample with their application. For information on applying, click here.

Students and out-of–state attorneys should direct their submissions to Training Director Rory Stein, while interns and Florida attorneys should direct theirs to Executive Assistant Public Defender C. David Weed.

Prospective candidates who successfully complete an intense interview session with hypothetical questions and scenarios will be offered the opportunity to participate in a hiring conference where candidates are interviewed by a panel of several assistant public defenders who select the best to become members of our team.

We frequently hire former interns because our assistant public defenders have had an opportunity to work with them and can share their first-hand experience with the hiring committee.

Students interested in participating in our internship program can either email their resume to Rory Stein or mail it to him at the address given at the bottom of this page.
