DOJ to Start Hiring Prosecutors Directly Out of Law School (1)

“There are now public postings for assistant US attorney openings in Minnesota, South Florida, Montana, Alaska, and Louisiana that list a law degree and active state bar membership as required qualifications. They don’t mention a minimum period of service, while other US attorney’s offices still mandate at least one or three years out of law school.”

Also explains “A person familiar with the administration’s thinking said less-seasoned prosecutors are more likely to juggle multiple cases and work longer hours because they don’t have family commitments,” which may well wind up serving as a paragraph in one or more Title VII complaints one day. Not that it’s independently actionable, but it certainly helps. We all know that’s how DOJ, firms, hell, many employers in general operate, but you’re saying the quiet part out loud.
