[quote=Anonymous]There is tremendous competition for these jobs from people who have have criminal law experience. Since you currently do litigation, you know that you would have no control over trial schedules, court appearances, etc. Depending where you work, your case load could be mostly negotiating pleas in drug related cases. Gets old very quickly. Federal judges are known to schedule pre-trial conferences at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Most do not look kindly on lawyers who asked to be excused to care for a sick child or other relative. You will need flexible childcare and backup child care. Good luck![/quote]
