Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) has an opening for a Deputy Attorney General position in CRIT’s Prosecutor’s Office. CRIT is looking for someone with a year or more of criminal law experience (prosecution or defense); Indian Country experience is great but not required.

The areas of your prosecution would range from small crimes (petty theft) to major crimes (like arson and homicide). A large part of the criminal docket is domestic violence prosecution. I’m a Deputy Attorney General in CRIT’s civil section, but I’ve covered some criminal hearings and did a trial. If anyone has questions about the job or what its like to live/work on the California-Arizona border, feel free to email Fatima Abbas at fabbas1986@gmail.com
