Boston, Massachusetts
Announcement #: 21-MA-AUSA-05
Application Deadline: April 16, 2021
The position of an Assistant U.S. Attorney provides one with the responsibility and the authority to effect positive changes in the lives of Americans who live in Massachusetts and across the United States. The position being advertised is for Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Affirmative Civil Enforcement Unit, which is responsible for the recovery of federal funds obtained by fraud. The vast majority of the Unit's cases are False Claims Act cases, and most of them are actions brought by whistleblowers, who are generally entitled to a percentage of the recovery in such actions. The unit also proactively generates its own cases through referrals, data analytics, and other sources. A significant number of the unit's cases involve fraud against Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health insurance programs.
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.
