“This administration is seeking dedicated, fearless attorneys to help defend freedom across the federal government,” Dhillon said, adding that the administration is fast-tracking applications to bring qualified attorneys into government service more quickly.
“There’s no place more exciting to join our government than in the Civil Rights Division,” she said. “If you’re an attorney interested in serving your country and in protecting the rights of all Americans, we encourage you to apply today.”
The website, talent.opm.gov/attorney, hosts the Attorney Talent Network, a platform designed to connect lawyers with federal recruiters and provide information about legal career opportunities in government.
Attorneys who sign up can upload their resumes, receive notifications about open positions, and be contacted directly by federal agencies seeking legal staff.
Federal attorneys work across agencies nationwide, handling responsibilities that include litigation, legal advice on regulatory and policy matters, investigations, and enforcement of federal laws.
According to the Office of Personnel Management, the Attorney Talent Network is intended to strengthen the federal legal workforce by making it easier for attorneys across the United States to connect with government recruiters and learn about public service opportunities.
