Announcement #: 21-MA-AUSA-03
Application Deadline: January 11, 2021
The position of an Assistant U.S. Attorney provides one with the responsibility and the authority to improve the lives of Americans who live in Massachusetts and across the United States. We prosecute local and international drug dealers, fraudsters, terrorists, war criminals, major pharmaceutical companies that cheat in the sale of drugs and devices, and perpetrators of intellectual property crime. We bring civil suits against bad actors in the health care industry and against companies that fail to comply with the laws protecting disabled Americans, and represent the United States when it is, or its agencies, are sued in a wide variety of civil actions.
Working as a federal prosecutor sworn to pursue justice in the name of the United States is deeply satisfying. Many lawyers look back on their days as an Assistant U.S. Attorney as among the most rewarding of their professional careers.
The office is currently hiring for an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Asset Recovery Unit (ARU). Work in this unit includes recovering assets to pay fines and restitution in criminal cases, including ensuring pre-judgment identification and freezing of assets and handling post-judgment enforcement matters. This attorney's practice will also include commencing civil actions to recover debt owed to federal agencies and managing civil bankruptcy matters. In addition, ARU AUSAs handle forfeiture of assets in criminal and civil cases, and this position will also include forfeiture work.
The ARU AUSA will be responsible for handling a large and active caseload, filing pleadings, appearing in both U.S. District Court and U.S. Bankruptcy Court, providing prompt legal advice to agencies, and representing the United States in other legal matters as may be assigned.
