WANTED: TOP-FLIGHT PROSECUTOR   
WILLING TO TRADE INCOME FOR BEAUTY    

The Humboldt County District Attorney's Office is recruiting for a top-flight prosecutor, with at least 5 years felony experience, who is able to "pick up a file at a moment's notice and run with it." The opening derives from one of its deputy district attorneys being appointed a federal magistrate.

The Humboldt County DA's office is one of the most exciting prosecutorial offices in California. Its District Attorney, Paul Gallegos, is willing to charge anyone who commits wrongdoing--no matter how wealthy, sacrosanct, or ruthless. He believes in total equality before the law. He also plans to be innovative in promoting programs of prevention and treatment. He wants to make it the best prosecutorial office of its size in the nation.  

As an example of willingness to take on the powerful, the office filed, in February 2003, a major fraud suit against Pacific Lumber Company under the Unfair Competition Law. This led to Pacific Lumber's funding a recall against the DA, on which it spent $220,000 despite Humboldt being a rural county of only 140,000 people.  

On March 2, 2004, the voters in Humboldt County gave Gallegos an emphatic vote of confidence--over 61% of the vote despite a massive barrage of false advertising.   

Humboldt County is considered one of the most beautiful counties in the nation. It has an extensive coastline on the Pacific, contains rugged mountains for hiking and scenic rivers for fishing, and is home to the most cathedral-like redwoods in the world.

Eureka-Arcata has an airport with regularly scheduled service to San Francisco and Sacramento and elsewhere. It contains Humboldt State University, which reportedly sends the highest number of graduates into the Peace Corps of all colleges and universities in America.

The salary schedule for this position is per year, plus health and dental insurance benefits. Cost of living in Eureka-Arcata is less than in California's urban areas.
