Deputy Attorney General I-V/ White Collar Crime - Fraud & Consumer Protection Div.

Job Description

Delaware's Attorney General, the State's chief law enforcement officer, has a broad responsibility to combat crime, uphold civil rights, safeguard families, fight fraud, and protect consumers in the First State.
In meeting this mission, Attorney General Kathy Jennings is supported by teams of talented lawyers and staff in the Criminal, Civil, Family, Fraud and Consumer Protection, and Civil Rights and Public Trust Divisions. Each of the more than 500 staff who work in the Office of the Attorney General are dedicated to serving all Delawareans with integrity and passion.
Deputy Attorneys General, with critical support from criminal special investigators, victim service specialists, paraprofessionals, and administrative staff, prosecute criminal cases, enforce consumer laws, provide counsel to state agencies, ensure the public's access to open government, protect the abused, and much more.

The White Collar Crime Unit ("WCCU") in the Fraud & Consumer Protection Division seeks a Deputy Attorney General. The WCCU prosecutes crimes that involve financial misconduct and such other criminal matters assigned by the Division Director. The WCCU also pursues civil actions under the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act for fraud committed against the government.

This Deputy Attorney General, under the guidance of Unit leadership, will decide what cases should be prosecuted, which should be resolved by trial, and will try the cases that are not otherwise resolved. While the WCCU is based in New Castle County, this position will handle criminal matters statewide and may be posted in Kent or Sussex Counties. Travel throughout the state is contemplated. Additional duties for the DAG would include representing the Unit at meetings involving business crime issues, including with federal counterparts, meeting with referral agencies to address issues in the investigation and prosecution of cases within the Unit's jurisdiction, performing intakes and reviewing cases for prosecution. This DAG will work as part of a team with the other members of the WCCU on the full range of WCCU cases.
