[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't even think it is possible to get a federal defender job without significant experience. But the DC PD office hires regularly, I think. I am interested in how many trials a DC public defender gets, and what a typical work week schedule is when not in trial.[/quote] DC PDS is very competitive, as others have noted. Also, they will not hire you without evidence of passion and zeal for the mission (i.e., pro bono work, civil rights work, etc.) The case load is heavy, and if you want to do right by your clients, you will end up working long hours. If you are still interested, they do offer pro bono opportunities to represent folks who are getting parole revoked. [/quote]
