[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a lot of moving parts, and I am trying to get a handle on them all. First, is your goal to be a litigator? If so, you are unlikely to get a lot of litigation experience at ATR - some, yes, but not as much as in some of the other DOJ divisions by a long shot. There is an opportunity to do a six month detail to the EDVA USAO, but then there is a two year commitment to return to ATR.You could strike it lucky and get put on a big case in litigation. I know this has happened to a few second or third year attorneys in our section. But overall, ATR does not litigate a lot, and when we do, it is large, complex cases, with very little court time.
So my second question is why you are looking specifically at ATR. Do you have an offer from ATR, but not from any other division within DOJ?[/quote]

Yes, I would like to learn to litigate. Court time is far less important than motion practice, writing, etc.

And yes, I have an offer from ATR but not from any other divisions.  When I was going through the process, I hadn't realized how little litigating the Division really does. [/quote]

Oh, and I should add - I really like antitrust as a subject, but I don't think I want to do antitrust work at the expense of learning how to litigate so early in my career. [/quote]
