About the Position

The Maricopa County Attorney's Office (MCAO) is now accepting applications from lawyers interested in participating in the newly enacted Government Law Admission Program (GLAP).

This program is only available to attorneys licensed by bar examination in a US state or territory that does not offer Arizona lawyers admission on motion. These jurisdictions include Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Nevada, Rhode Island, South Carolina, West Virginia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Attorneys licensed in other jurisdictions must seek admission to the Arizona bar as described in Rule 34, Rules of the Supreme Court of Arizona.

To be eligible for a position in this program, applicants must meet all conditions outlined in the Arizona Supreme Court's Administrative Order no. 2025-25. To practice law under the GLAP, the individual must work in an approved position, which includes an attorney position with the MCAO. To be eligible for full membership in the State Bar of Arizona, a lawyer licensed under this program must successfully complete five (5) years of employment with an eligible employer.

Applicants hired into this position will work as a full-time Prosecutor I, II, or III for a 5-year period. Employment will continue in that position if the lawyer is fully admitted to practice law in Arizona under Rule 34(f).

Prosecutors hired at a level I will be compensated at a range of $82,250 to $108,750

Prosecutors hired at a level II will be compensated at a range of $102,000 to $ 148,500

Prosecutors hired at a level III will be compensated at a range of $114,500 to $171,750

The tier placement and subsequently the salary offer are based on the candidate's equivalent experience and internal equity with other Maricopa County employees within the same job classification. This position is not eligible for overtime compensation.
