Pre-Law License/Comity Employment Program
A District Attorney’s office, with a vacant Assistant District Attorney position, can hire a student intern with a student practice certificate and house the intern in the vacant position. The intern can be paid from the day after they take the bar exam until the day they swear in while waiting for their bar exam results. If the intern passes the bar, they transfer titles from intern to Assistant District Attorney. If the intern does not pass the bar, they must be terminated immediately. ADA candidates awaiting BOLE notification regarding comity status may work up to twelve (12) weeks once their application has been submitted to BOLE. This interim duration should not exceed twelve (12) calendar weeks unless approved by the Conference of District Attorneys Executive Director and AOC Chief Human Resources Officer to continue longer due to extenuating circumstances.
