[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son graduated with honors last year from a Top 6 law school and is currently doing a federal appellate clerkship

He didn’t take a BigLaw offer while in school and is now gearing up his job search. Hoping for a boutique litigation firm but also just had interviews with a couple of sections for the DOJ Honors Program

After the election, he’s now thinking about totally bailing on DOJ. Would that be a sensible decision? Not a lawyer, so I have no insight to offer him and am looking for advice

Student loan debt isn’t an issue and he doesn’t have a burning desire for public interest / government service, is focusing on trying to find interesting work with decent work-life balance [/quote]

Do you know what sections he's interested in? Bailing would be a sensible move either way to be honest. But depending on his interests, there might be some great opportunities available right now. This will be an absolutely fascinating time to work in the OIL-District Court or Federal Services branches, for example. Less so Civil Rights and Public Integrity. [/quote]
