What’s it like to work for the CDPP as an up-and-coming lawyer? Melbourne-based Chris shares his experience working for Australia’s federal prosecution agency. CHRIS, FEDERAL PROSECUTOR, MELBOURNE “Since joining the CDPP as a Federal Prosecutor in November 2022, I've been attached to the Serious Financial and Corporate Crime practice group in Melbourne. “Despite joining as a junior prosecutor with limited post-admission experience, I quickly took responsibility of managing my own caseload and appearing in my own matters, thanks to the support provided by my experienced managers and colleagues. The work itself is both challenging and rewarding with cases of varying complexity and seriousness. There are several things I particularly enjoy about the role, including analysing briefs of evidence, undertaking legal research on discrete or novel issues, and collaborating closely with experienced counsel. “I have been fortunate to gain plenty of advocacy experience with the CDPP, with regular appearances in a wide range of matters. Beyond day-to-day casework, the CDPP offers a fantastic advocacy training program and there are plenty of opportunities to practice your skills through participation in rotating arrest rosters and appearances in suburban and regional court lists. “My journey with the CDPP so far has been incredible, and I genuinely love everything about my job – I don’t know many people who can say that! I highly recommend it to anyone considering a career in criminal law or already practicing.” Applications are now open for our Canberra, Adelaide, Cairns, Townsville and Darwin based federal prosecutor positions.
