ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL

CRIMINAL BUREAU GAMING ENFORCEMENT DIVISION

(Boston Office)

Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell is looking for a highly motivated individual to join the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office in Boston to conduct investigations and prosecutions in the Gaming Enforcement Division within the Criminal Bureau. The Gaming Enforcement Division is a statewide team of prosecutors, investigators, and administrative and other staff, partnered with the Massachusetts State Police, and charged with investigating and prosecuting gaming-related crimes pursuant to G.L. c. 12, § 11M.

Primary Duties: The Assistant Attorney General in the Gaming Enforcement Division will be involved in investigating and prosecuting criminal conduct related to expanded gaming in the Commonwealth, including violations of G.L. c. 23K, G.L. c. 23N, G.L. c. 267A, and G.L. c. 271, and other illegal activity, such as gaming-related financial crime, organized crime, corruption, and money laundering. The Gaming Enforcement Division is a statewide division, and the position requires a candidate with a proven track record of versatility and adaptability. Division members work closely with the State Police Gaming Enforcement Unit assigned to both the Office of the Attorney General and the Gaming Commission, as well as federal, state, and local law enforcement partners.

The Assistant Attorney General will be expected to handle a complex caseload and be charged with leading and coordinating investigations and prosecutions with State Police in conjunction with other prosecutors, victim/witness advocates, paralegals, and support staff. Additional functions will include screening potential cases, fostering relationships with industry stakeholders, participating in training, occasional district court coverage, and working cohesively with others in the Office of the Attorney General.

All employees assigned to the Gaming Enforcement Division are subject to the Enhanced Code of Ethics adopted pursuant to G.L. c. 12, § 11M(c).

Position Requirements: Applicants must be practicing attorneys and must be members of the Massachusetts bar. The successful candidate must possess the ability to handle a large and advanced caseload and have five (5) years of experience as an attorney, preferably in state criminal practice. The successful candidate will also be able to demonstrate a connection to the people and communities we serve, and an interest in supporting a respectful and inclusive work environment. Must be willing to learn, eager to be challenged, and comfortable appearing in court. We are seeking a team player with legal writing experience and excellent communication skills. Applicants must be self-motivated, disciplined, ethical, and possess the ability to exercise sound judgment in decision-making. Experience conducting grand jury investigations, as well as trial experience in Superior Court or U.S. District Court, is highly desirable.

Location: Although this position is based in Boston, MA, the successful candidate will be required to travel as needed to other areas of the Commonwealth in support of investigations. Accordingly, a valid Massachusetts Driver’s License is required. Our hybrid model includes some telework days for most positions. For the first six months in the position, the Assistant Attorney General will be expected to work in office at least three or four days per week.

Position Type: Full-Time/Exempt

Salary: $84,134 to $125,572, commensurate with JD year and experience
