Fed Attorneys - Schedule

[Anonymous]

As a fed who works constantly with our attorneys but not an attorney, I see no issue with attorneys being fully remote. I have a lot of issues with program offices, IT, records, HR and secretaries being remote, but don't ever have an issue getting ahold of our attorneys. In general though I don't think remote is working well at our agency for program offices though.

Some of the reason is likely that our attorneys still have to "bill" their hours to programs, so it maybe keeps them more accountable? Or maybe they're just more professional. They're also frequently available by calls and video chat.

^^ I agree with this. It’s offices HR and IT who you want on the spot and in person when you need them but our legal is spot on and always available. Our agency personnel rarely go see them in person anyway - mostly everything was by email or phone call. I don’t think we need a one size fits all approach here.
