Summary
The Department of Justice is offering signing bonuses of up to $25,000 to recruit lawyers across the country to bolster legal battles against “lawless jurisdictions.” The hiring push comes as the Civil Division faces hundreds of lawsuits and scrutiny for employee departures and recruiting challenges. The DOJ official attributed the departures to employees taking a “fork in the road” resignation option, which the Trump administration rolled out last year.
