<\/p>\nQueens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced the appointment of four new Assistant District Attorneys to the Queens District Attorney\u2019s Office. The new prosecutors and the law schools from which they graduated are Benjamin Chesler, New York University School of Law; Mikaela Cordasco, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School; Mia Wolosky, University of Virginia School of Law; and Fred Yu, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School.<\/p>\n
District Attorney Katz said: \u201cI am pleased to welcome this impressive quartet of talented young lawyers to the Queens District Attorney\u2019s office. This new class will learn about the vital functions of a prosecutor\u2019s office as they begin their work on behalf of the people of Queens County. They will be well prepared to join us in our mission to keep our borough safe, while also ensuring a fairer criminal justice system for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new Assistant District Attorneys, sworn in on March 30, begin an immersive Incoming Orientation Program that includes lectures and interactive workshops. The new ADAs will shadow experienced prosecutors and interact with the office\u2019s executive staff and senior ADAs to become acquainted with every aspect of the office\u2019s mission. Following the completion of this initial training, the new ADAs will be assigned to the Intake Bureau to work on behalf of the people of Queens County.<\/p>\n
After a rotation in the Intake Bureau, the new ADAs will continue training with additional lectures, workshops, shadow rotations and site visits. This intensive training program will include visits to the NYPD\u2019s laboratory, shooting range, Emergency Services Unit and a police precinct. They will also accompany NYPD officers during their tour of duty.<\/p>\n
Following the completion of the full training program, the new ADAs will later be assigned to the Domestic Violence Bureau, the Criminal Court Bureau, or the Appeals Bureau.<\/p>\n
