Got to have the AUSA on the resume
ReplyDeleteTrue, but it makes sense. A considerable amount of a Magistrate's work involves issues that AUSA's have experience with such as drafting warrants, trap and trace, pre-trial detention hearings, etc. Unless you have been an AUSA, it is unlikely you will have the same familiarity with how to appropriately review such documents and conduct these hearings. I have found in our District, that the former AUSAs are the toughest on prosecutors, because they knew how to do it right, and have exacting standards.
ReplyDelete@1:53pm, what about AFPDs?
