The FJDA welcomes our 2026 Summer Interns! We have seven talented interns joining us this summer as they explore careers in law and the criminal justice system. Our internship program is designed to provide meaningful, hands-on experience for undergraduate and law school students interested in learning more about the legal profession, public service, and the work of a prosecutor's office.

Throughout the summer, our interns will have the opportunity to observe court proceedings, learn from experienced attorneys and staff, and gain valuable insight into the criminal justice system.

We look forward to supporting their educational journey and helping them develop the skills and knowledge that will serve them in their future careers.

Welcome to the team!

The First Judicial District Attorney’s Office recognizes Wear Orange Day as part of National Gun Violence Awareness Month.

As prosecutors, we see firsthand the devastating impact gun violence has on victims, families, and our communities. While responsible gun ownership is a constitutional right, it also carries serious responsibilities. Too often, fi****ms fall into the wrong hands through illegal sales, straw purchases, unsecured storage, or other preventable circumstances, with tragic consequences.

We advocate daily for victims of gun violence and support efforts that promote public safety. During the 2026 Legislative Session, our Chief Deputy District Attorney, Anthony Long, stood alongside Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe to support measures aimed at reducing illegal gun trafficking and keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of those who should not possess them.

Among the measures supported was Senate Bill 17, which sought to strengthen firearm dealer oversight, combat straw purchases, and restrict certain high-capacity and extremely dangerous weapons. Although SB17 did not become law this session, the conversation surrounding responsible gun ownership is still serious.

We also supported legislative efforts to increase penalties for felons who unlawfully possess fi****ms, address juvenile firearm offenses, and strengthen protections for victims of domestic violence.

to honor those whose lives have been forever changed by gun violence.
