Join the Fight for Justice

At the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, we believe that true justice is built by a team of dedicated individuals from all backgrounds, skills, and experiences. We need more than just seasoned, licensed attorneys to carry out our mission — we need people who are passionate about making a real difference in our community.

Whether you're a first-year lawyer in corporate America having second thoughts, a veteran police officer looking for a change, or a paralegal or administrative assistant who wants some of the best benefits, quality of life, and excitement a career has to offer, join the fight for justice. We are calling on everyone to step up and help us create a safer, more just county. Together, we can hold offenders accountable, fight for victims' rights, and reform our justice system to make it fairer for all. Every role plays a crucial part in making Harris County a better place to live, work, and thrive.

DA Post Bar Fellowship Program

The Harris County District Attorney's Office offers the Post Bar Fellowship program, our version of the traditional Summer Associate program, for recent law school graduates and 3L students. As a Post Bar Fellow, you’ll have the unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in criminal prosecution, having nearly all the duties and responsibilities of a full-fledged prosecutor while you await your bar results.

The best part? Successfully complete the program and once you pass the bar you will be sworn in by the District Attorney and begin your exciting career in the best office in the land. Our Fellows routinely appear in court to handle dockets, hearings, and full first-chair jury trials. In addition, Post Bar Fellows have extensive hands-on and in-class training through our yearly Post Bar Academy, where some of the best and most experienced prosecutors in the country train our Post Bar class on everything from procedure to trial technique.
