General InformationThe staff of the Morgan County District Attorney's Office serves at the pleasure of the elected District Attorney. Staff members are not classified as merit employees under the State's merit system. The district attorney is an elected official serving a six year term. All employees of the district attorney's office are confidential employees and must agree to submit to a criminal background investigation to be eligible for appointment. It is the policy of the Morgan County District Attorney's Office not to discriminate against any employee, applicant for employment, independent contractor, or any other person because of race, color, religious creed, ancestry, national origin, age, or sex.

Materials such as resumes, photos, applications, attachments, enclosures, etc. will become the property of the District Attorney's Office upon receipt and will not be returned to the applicant. Resumes and applications filed with this office by unsuccessful applicants will remain on file for a period of at least one year for consideration in future hiring cycles. An application may be requested by e-mail, below. Assistant District AttorneysIn order to be eligible for appointment as an assistant district attorney, an individual must be a member in good standing of the Alabama State Bar Association. Generally, this requires both an undergraduate degree and a law degree from an accredited or approved institution(s) and compliance with the other rules of admission. When positions are available, interviews for attorneys are generally conducted after the first of the year and conclude by early spring. New attorneys are generally hired and are sworn in by late spring or early summer. Applicants who are currently enrolled in law school and who will be sitting for the bar following graduation are eligible to interview for open attorney positions; however, employment is contingent upon their admission to the bar. The Morgan County District Attorney's Office often conducts on campus interviews at both the University of Alabama School of Law and the Cumberland School of Law. Students interested in scheduling an on-campus interview should check with their respective placement offices to see if we will be visiting your campus. Part-time attorney positions are filled from time-to-time as the need arises. Generally speaking, substantial litigation experience is a requirement for these positions. Individuals interested in such employment are urged to complete an application and have it, together with a copy of their resume, placed on file at the District Attorney's Office, as these positions are often filled quickly with little or no public notice. Interns/ExternsThe Morgan County District Attorney's Office has a rich history of hiring both college and law school students for summer internships/externships. The extent to which we can offer paid positions is largely dependent upon our budget and varies from year to year. In the past, we have hired both paid and non-paid interns/externs, many of whom return for part-time work during the academic year. If you are interested in doing an internship/externship with the Morgan County District Attorney's Office, please provide us with a resume, references (faculty references are particularly helpful), a transcript and a written description of any formal intern/externship program for which you will be receiving academic credit.
