[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your terminations won’t be a problem because the Board needs warm bodies to fill seats - the turnover rate there is tremendous.. Do you know what you are getting yourself into? Here’s a survey of nearly 400 Board attorneys.

By the way, you won’t be doing any legal research. You will be expected to review 3.5 cases a week. For each case, you will need to review 2,000 to 10,000 pages of evidence  and write a 10-20 page decision. The job is no walk in the park and management regularly fires attorneys or forces them to resign. Read the survey.

Do you want another termination on your record, this time from a federal agency?[/quote]

Thanks. I have reviewed everything (and I mean everything!). I am not concerned for someone like me (an introvert). I like writing! I am single. I have a ton of time. I routinely worked 40+ hours a week. I was a county prosecutor and law clerk (10 years), and the only part I liked was reading, thinking, and writing. I hated meeting people, talking with witnesses, doing jury trials, etc.... I loved appellate work.  Med recs are no big deal to me. I dealt with them all the time as a prosecutor, and reviewed them all the time as a law clerk. You just need to figure out what relates to the issues. Not every page matters. But, I understand everyone's concerns. [/quote]
