JOB SUMMARY:

The Bronx County District Attorney’s Office (BXDA) seeks an experienced, dynamic attorney to serve as the Bureau Chief of the Conviction Integrity Bureau (CIB). CIB is dedicated to improving the quality and integrity of prosecutions throughout Bronx County. Primarily, CIB provides an independent review of post-judgment claims of actual innocence and wrongful conviction in our most serious cases. The review is generally fact-based and extra-judicial. When appropriate, the bureau thoroughly reinvestigates a case. In doing so, CIB collaborates with forensic and investigatory experts in other bureaus within the Office and with New York City and State agencies. CIB also reviews clemency and pardon applications that have been referred to us by the New York State Governor, as well as post-conviction applications for relief under the Domestic Violence Survivor’s Justice Act. Additionally, CIB works closely with Executive Staff, chiefs, and supervisors throughout the Office, and the Litigation Training Bureau to identify systemic issues, to help implement and follow best practices in the current prosecution of cases, and to ensure compliance with all legal and ethical obligations.

The Bureau Chief reports directly to the General Counsel and Deputy General Counsel. The Bureau Chief plays a key leadership role in supervising and managing staff and all aspects of the Bureau’s work. The ideal candidate is an experienced leader who can balance expert legal and investigative skills with the ability to mentor staff, streamline processes, and build a culture that aligns with DA Clark’s vision of justice with integrity.
