The Alaska Department of Law, Office of Special Prosecutions, is recruiting for a full-time attorney specializing in the area of alcohol interdiction. This position will prosecute alcohol-related offenses, including Title 4 violations. Alcohol abuse has been found to be a significant contributing factor to criminal activity, particularly domestic violence and sexual assault, throughout the state.

The ideal candidate will possess two to three years of criminal prosecution experience, be highly self-motivated, willing to aggressively charge alcohol related cases, and be able to motivate and manage criminal investigators including actively participating in all stages of an ongoing investigation from initiation to prosecution. Although the unit is seeking an attorney with some relevant experience in the field, all interested attorneys are encouraged to apply for consideration. The applicant’s relevant legal experience and interest in the position should be addressed in the cover letter.

This position is located within the Office of Special Prosecutions which is devoted to prosecuting complex crimes including cold cases, bootlegging, cybercrimes, environmental crimes, criminal non-payment of child support, violations of state tax law, and fraud in Medicaid, Welfare, Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend, and worker’s compensation. The unit also reviews all deaths resulting from police officer-involved shootings, handles conflict cases from local District Attorney Offices, and other matters requiring special attention from prosecutors.
