DEFINITION
DDA I: Under general supervision, to perform the less difficult professional legal work in the District Attorney's Office; and to do related work as required.
DDA II: Under direction, to perform a variety of professional legal work in the District Attorney's Office; and to do related work as required.
DDA III and IV: Under direction, to perform a variety of professional legal work in the District Attorney's Office; to handle the more difficult and complex legal cases; to provide direction and work coordination for other legal and support staff in the District Attorney's Office; and to do related work as required.
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
DDA I: This is the entry level classification in the professional legal series of Deputy District Attorney. Incumbents are members of the California State Bar, but typically have little experience in the practice of law. Incumbents typically work under the close direction of more experienced attorneys and perform work which is largely confined to the investigation, preparation and presentation of less difficult criminal cases in Superior Courts.
DDA II: An experienced level classification in the professional legal series of Deputy District Attorney. Incumbents are members of the California State Bar, with two years' experience in the practice of criminal law or one year experience in criminal prosecution or defense for a governmental agency. Incumbents typically are involved in the investigation, preparation and presentation of misdemeanor criminal cases and preliminary hearings in Superior Courts.
DDA III: The journey level class in the Deputy District Attorney series, with four years' experience in the practice of criminal law, or two years' experience in criminal prosecution or defense for a governmental agency. Incumbents are expected to handle the range of cases and issues before any court. This class is distinguished from the next lower class of Deputy District Attorney II by the greater difficulty of cases assigned, and by the lesser degree of supervision. This class is further distinguished from the next higher of Deputy District Attorney IV by the fact that the latter are routinely assigned to most difficult and complex criminal cases, works independently and without supervision.
DDA IV: Advanced journey-level class in Deputy District Attorney series which works independently and without supervision in all but a few cases. The class is distinguished from the Deputy District Attorney III in that incumbents are knowledgeable in and perform the full range of legal duties of the office as required, and spend a majority of their time on the most difficult and complex criminal cases.
