Memorandum
Date: April 2, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Susan Krones, District Attorney
Subject: Adopt Resolution to Establish Two Extra-Help Classifications - Certified Law Clerk and Legal Intern - for the District Attorney's Office, Budget Unit 2110
Executive Summary:
Due to the difficulties in hiring and retaining Deputy District Attorneys, we would like to establish two Extra-Help positions which can be filled by law students and graduates who have not yet passed the State Bar.
It is our hope that the Certified Law Clerks and/or Legal Interns that we hire will have a strong desire and sense of commitment to stay in Lake County and eventually be hired as Deputy District Attorneys.
