Probably just doing extremely basic research. Perhaps this is the way the SEC wants to make itself “younger.” The problem is that the people who are necessary to train these junior lawyers are either gone, or are about to leave. Or just quite quit altogether, evidenced by the lack of any visible rulemaking done by TM. I also think this is by design: the dismantling of the SEC - replace experience with inexperience.

We hire SK-11 law clerks in CF. They are temporary positions that convert upon being admitted or in some cases fired if they dont get admitted. Ours are 11-14 ladder positions and they do the same work as everyone else, obviously requiring significant oversight and training. I think we are (or were) the only division that hires straight out of law school.

I have heard nothing recently about the realignment. Has anyone else?

Ours is done and was pretty modest. However, we did a massive reorg in Trump 1 so that is probably why. We also confirmed to the OPM supervisor ratio for the most part.

The harder hit Divisions and offices already consolidated branches and assistant director groups to get to certain staffing levels. Not sure that these were massive changes though.

A better use would have been to get rid of the worthless MEs and their bloated offices.

Most didn’t. Look at the ratios in exams. I think those are less than 3:1.
And yes, the MEs should go.

Have they? For a while now, there have been national guard at the entrance/exit between the lower level of the station and the metro, but I haven’t seen them stopping people from entering. And there still seem to be plenty of kids in the station who would be stopped under such a policy.

It has been this way all school year, I leave a 4 and they are always there. They don’t want the kids to hang out in the area between McDonald’s and Raising Canes.

I have noticed this more recently. I am still always shocked when I turn the corner towards the Mcdonalds and there are 5 national guards just standing there.
