The Federal Public Defender for the District of Alaska is accepting applications for a Mitigation Specialist in its Anchorage office. We are a small, collaborative office representing individuals charged with federal crimes across the District of Alaska.

Our practice is rooted in a holistic, client-centered defense model. We believe effective advocacy requires understanding the full human story behind the charges. Attorneys, investigators, and mitigation professionals work closely together to ensure our clients are seen in context—not just through criminal history or allegations.

This position is a social-work-centered role focused on trauma-informed assessment, life history development, client stabilization, and the creation of structured alternatives to incarceration. The Mitigation Specialist conducts psychosocial assessments, develops comprehensive social histories, and connects clients to treatment, housing, and community supports.

A central function of the role is developing release and reentry plans that provide courts with realistic alternatives to detention and incarceration. Responsibilities also include gathering records, interviewing collateral sources, synthesizing complex life histories, and assisting attorneys in developing persuasive mitigation narratives for sentencing.

We seek a mission-driven professional who understands the intersection of trauma, poverty, addiction, and criminalization, and who brings strong judgment, compassion, and initiative to a collaborative defense team.

Salary: JSP Grade 11–14 ($84,439 – $184,886), depending on experience and qualifications, plus federal benefits.
