Personnel and duties
The National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys (NAAUSA) is the professional association for AUSAs. NAAUSA represents the interests of AUSAs, pressing DOJ and Congress for higher pay for AUSAs (whose salaries are low compared to private lawyers) and more telework opportunities. NAAUSA has also targeted the pay disparity between AUSAs and trial attorneys at Main Justice; the latter tend to be paid more than the former.
