Entry Level Assistant State's Attorney Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level assistant state's attorney job?
Start by completing a J.D. and passing the bar exam in your target state, since admission to the bar is a baseline requirement for most offices. At the entry level, prosecutors' offices and public defender programs value law school clinic experience, moot court participation, and criminal or civil externships. Applying directly to county and district attorney offices and highlighting any courtroom exposure gives candidates a real edge at this stage.

Companies hiring entry level assistant state's attorneys right now include Jobot, Epic, and Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A., based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, most openings come from government prosecutors' offices, public law departments, and county or municipal legal agencies that regularly bring on new graduates to build their litigation pipelines.
Are there remote entry level assistant state's attorney jobs?
Yes, though most positions in this field are court-facing and require in-person appearances. About 42% of entry level assistant state's attorney openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be in legal research, compliance support, or administrative roles within larger offices rather than active trial positions.
Are these new grad assistant state's attorney jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles that explicitly welcome candidates with zero to two years of experience. A posting is new-grad friendly when it lists a J.D. and bar passage as the core requirements without demanding prior prosecutorial experience, and when it treats internships, clinics, or law school advocacy work as qualifying background.

Entry Level assistant state's attorney roles concentrate in Law & Legal Services, Staffing & Recruiting, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026.
