The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Conviction Review Unit (CRU), the largest and most prolific unit of its kind, has an opening for an experienced trial attorney with extensive investigative experience, some of it preferably in corruption- and/or wrongful conviction-related work.
CRU conducts long-term investigations into cases where there is a credible claim of wrongful conviction and makes recommendations to District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. To date, the unit’s work has resulted in 40 exonerations over ten years. Attorneys in the unit lead the investigations, collecting and reviewing all available documents pertaining to the cases and interviewing witnesses in the field, often traveling out-of-state to do so. CRU attorneys are also responsible for preparing for the District Attorney a detailed report on each completed investigation, following one or more internal round-table discussions to determine the proper course of action.
Working in CRU is an exciting, dynamic, and rewarding experience best suited to criminal lawyers with a talent for investigative work, who understand that keeping the public safe includes admitting—and learning from—wrongs of the past, to ensure public confidence in the office’s overall mission.
