[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The senior attorney title is unrelated to your GS grade, but as a practical matter, almost anyone with a senior attorney title will be GS-15.[/quote]

what is the senior attorney title anyway?  [/quote]

Exactly? What is it. I'm a DOJ attorney (15). I am curious what makes one senior?[/quote]

All of the litigating divisions have the authority to designate attorneys as senior attorneys. In some divisions, the front office has to do it. In others, the AAG has designated the power to section chiefs.

Some divisions/sections use it to designate a change in managerial responsibility. For example, if most people in the section draft briefs, and a small group of people mostly second-level review briefs, the section might designate the reviewing attorneys as senior attorneys. Similarly, in sections that litigate cases in larger case teams, the people who tend to exert the most managerial responsibility on the case teams might be designated senior.

Some other divisions/sections use it solely as an honorific to recognize people with longer tenure. So, the people who have been there 30 years will have received the senior title.

And some other divisions/sections (apparently including yours?) just don't bother giving out the title because they figure it might cause some resentment and doesn't come with any perks anyhow.[/quote]
