An Assistant City Prosecutor I performs entry-level, professional legal work in the preparation and prosecution of cases in municipal court. An attorney in this class is given an extensive orientation in criminal prosecution activities and the various components of the criminal justice system. Responsibilities include: negotiating cases and plea agreements; conducting bench and jury trials; presenting motions, pleadings, and arguments in court; and interviewing witnesses, Police Officers, victims, and others. This class is also responsible for performing some appellate work and related duties as required.

This class is distinguished from the next higher-level classification, Assistant City Prosecutor II, by the latter's increased responsibilities and greater degree of legal and administrative knowledge and expertise. Employees in this class may progress by noncompetitive promotion to Assistant City Prosecutor II upon meeting the specific criteria-based promotion requirements. This class is supervised by a Deputy City Prosecutor who reviews work closely during initial training; however, incumbents may receive functional supervision from an Assistant City Prosecutor II or an Assistant City Prosecutor III on a special project basis. However, incumbents are eventually expected to handle trial work independently and under more general supervision. This class is FLSA exempt-professional. (Part-time employees in this class are FLSA nonexempt).
