The Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor (SNP) is a one-of-a-kind independent office with jurisdiction throughout the five boroughs of New York City. Created in response to a heroin epidemic and an increase in violent crime, SNP is charged with investigating and prosecuting cases involving felony narcotics. SNP partners with local, state, and federal enforcement agencies to root out narcotics trafficking organizations and offenders. SNP also employs public awareness efforts and treatment programs for offenders to reduce the demand for narcotics and advocate for drug-free lifestyles.

The Position

The Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor seeks an evening student to work full-time as a legal assistant. The legal assistant will be responsible for conducting legal research, developing public service announcements and prevention campaigns, identifying trends in narcotics prosecution and treatment, and preparing legal documents, reports, and public testimony. This is a great opportunity for a current law student to gain practical legal experience in a specialized prosecutor’s office.

The ideal candidate will have strong skills in writing, editing, communicating, and multi-tasking.
