[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Board of Veterans’ Appeals is always mass hiring attorneys. If you want an attorney position, apply for that job.[/quote]

When people ask about federal attorney positions they do not mean the SSA or BVA writing jobs. If you are unfortunate enough to even know about those jobs then you ask with specificity (and the neerdowells who work there will respond).

To answer your question OP, they are all highly competitive. Many private sector attorneys are eager to give up high pay for the much more manageable fed gov schedule.[/quote]

My agency (smaller very boring basic gov function) has a lawyer who helped with contractor selection for a support contract. She was very nice but seemed to have a random law degree from some state school and didn’t live in DMV.  Why doesn’t one of those highly qualified attornies jostle for this role?[/quote]

Why do you think this lawyer who had "a random law degree" wasn't highly qualified?  She may have been top of her class or had specialized experience that got her the job.

I'm a procurement attorney at a large federal agency. We haven't even had an opening in years because people don't leave these jobs very often. [/quote]
