[quote=Anonymous]also, the family friendly thing completely depends on your section. In the section my husband is in, each attorney is responsible for about ten cases at a time, and he tries about 4 cases a year. It is not low stress, and the hours are worse than any law firm I have ever been in. I think to do that kind of work you need to not be focused on your end game, you need to be dedicated to the service, the work, and your section. He and his coworkers joke about the kids that come for DOJ Honors, as he did, but are only looking to "check the box" after their clerkship, say they did it, and get some big great accolades and parlay it into a huge salary. Those people are pretty transparent and do not enjoy how hard the job is, or what is expected from them.

And, previous posters -- all of the people I knwo that work in this section went to one of the top three law schools, clerked, and could have worked at any firm they wanted. The idea that they took this job because they couldn't, and hoped to eventually, get some offer from a top firm is silly.  [/quote]
