Purpose

The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office serves the most diverse jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As prosecutors, we seek staffers who reflect the county’s composition in order to broaden the perspectives we draws upon in service to the community. Our mission is to serve the public and the interests of justice, understanding that we who work within the criminal justice system have a great impact on the lives of residents.

The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office sponsors Fellowship opportunities throughout the year to interested law students from diverse backgrounds who want to serve the people, families, and communities of Suffolk County. The Fellowship Program is designed to introduce students to the rewards and demands of ethical, modern, progressive prosecution, and serving diverse, urban communities.

The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office offers a rich environment to Fellows considering a career in prosecution and public service. Fellows will be exposed to many aspects of this rich environment, while learning how to build and maintain the highest standards of ethics, fairness, and integrity. more »

The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in recruiting and retaining our staff. To that end, the District Attorney encourages the input of the Diversity Committee, comprised entirely of volunteers from every level of the office.

The goal of the Diversity Committee is to foster an inclusive workplace where every staff member feels accepted and respected. The District Attorney encourages all staff members to work towards this goal and to benefit from multicultural events in the office and the community.

The Diversity Committee also serves as a confidential resource for staff members with concerns relating to discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation, as well as complaints of sexual harassment.
