[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless your child has poop for brains, they should get the DOJ Honors program on their resume. Sounds like your kid could be qualified for DOJ’s SO or at least appellate program, which is a step towards the most prestigious and interesting legal jobs in the country. They should already know this.[/quote]

Reread OP. Their kid is looking as US Trustee or Commercial branch. I’d take high end big law or a lot boutique over those. As someone who had better credentials than OP’s kid and chose not to do honors program, I’m glad I chose big law to start. [/quote]

Well of course you defend your own choice. But spending three years getting actual substantive responsibility on commercial or bankruptcy litigation, then entering biglaw with a big hiring bonus and having skipped the[b] hazing of document review,[/b] is actually the MUCH better career path.

Plenty of document review in those divisions at DOJ!  It is the nature of that type of litigation - huge document productions = huge number of documents to review.  You will not get out of it by taking a job at DOJ commercial lit/bankruptcy.[/quote]
