[quote=Anonymous]Just saw that the Appellate Staff in the Civil Division is hiring (or claims to be, anyway, assuming they don't already have people in mind). Can anyone provide any insight into the culture and quality of life in this section? Hours, flexibility, perks like work from home, etc? I assume the people are very smart and hard-working and probably collegial. Do they trend toward the younger, recent grads with no kids, or are there older attorneys with families? Is the travel just a couple of days a month, or is it a week or more of back-to-back arguments in various circuits?

I have been out of law school for 8 years, do appellate litigation for another agency, and have an infant (and hope to have another in a year or two). Hence my queries about quality of life. I have done Biglaw as well and do not want to return to that lifestyle. I have great autonomy and flexibility in my current work, but the work itself is not scintillating and in recent months there hasn't been enough of it.

Thanks for any insights from anyone who has worked there or knows people who have worked there.[/quote]
