Ashland County
The Ashland County Prosecuting Attorney is seeking a full time, Ohio-licensed attorney for the position of Overlord of Delinquent Children. The successful applicant will be responsible for the juvenile delinquency caseload. Additionally, you will serve as the Corrector of Mistakes before the Court of Appeals handling both adult and juvenile appeals. Basic literacy skills and a minimal level of socialization are a must and we are open to everything else you bring to the table. We don’t handle CSEA cases, so no math skills are required. But wait, there’s more….

Ashland County is a mostly rural area, which appeals to outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. We are located an hour south of Cleveland and an hour north of Columbus, if trees aren’t your thing. We are a small band of extremely hardworking, dedicated (but good-humored) public servants, committed to making a difference in our community. We are supportive without micromanaging, and are looking to add one more to our number. Maybe you’re the one. Maybe you like potlucks. Yeah; we do, too.

In addition to the outrageous level of job satisfaction you will no doubt experience, our County Commissioners have graciously authorized us to pay you AND grant you valuable benefits. The exact size of your paycheck depends upon your courtroom experience. Benefits include: health, dental, term life insurance, FSA, and membership in OPERS.

When not in Court, we do have remote work opportunities. Don’t let all the trees and corn fool you; we have computers, wifi hotspots, cloud-based case management, and all the gear you need to work from anywhere (although you won’t want to be away from us for very long).

If you have the qualities that we’re looking for, take the first step to getting out of your current gig (which is so awesome you’re looking at job postings) and forward a cover letter, resume, and writing sample to the Ashland County Prosecuting Attorney at prosecutor@ashlandcounty.org.
