DOJ suspends minimum work experience requirements for hiring attorneys after staff purges

It's MAGA DEI.

It’s all in the definitions. That IS “merit” to the right-wing cult that Republicans have become. Much like “people” are only white, “Christian” straight men worth at least a quarter million; the rest of us peons are just rabble to use or rouse as needed.

Well sure. Trump even got a participation trophy for the peace prize he didn’t earn. Not to mention the one he stole as well as other trophies/medals.

Oh its even worse... "In a March 13 message with the subject line, “Suspension of Attorney One Year Experience Requirement,” DOJ headquarters informed US attorneys’ offices that the department’s lawyer recruitment office now permits them to exclude the one-year minimum when advertising vacancies. The memo reviewed by Bloomberg Law goes on to state, “This suspension is in effect until February 28, 2027, and was implemented due to an exigent hiring need for attorneys across the Department.” There are now public postings for assistant US attorney openings in Minnesota, South Florida, Montana, Alaska, and Louisiana that list a law degree and active state bar membership as required qualifications. They don’t mention a minimum period of service, while other US attorney’s offices still mandate at least one or three years out of law school." https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/doj-to-allow-hiring-of-us-prosecutors-straight-out-of-law-school

Just use LLM chatbots. I mean, [what could go wrong](https://www.404media.co/ceo-ignores-lawyers-asks-chatgpt-how-to-void-250-million-contract-loses-terribly-in-court/)?

That's not a joke they're trying to bypass that or come up with alternatives because their ideology goes against legal experts and precedents and the ABA

Finally, Kim Kardashian can become a lawyer

I have actually been thinking of applying and seeing they’ll overlook my complete lack of qualifications.

Seems the ones they had that did pass it knew Jack Shit anyway.

didn't they already do this in Texas?

Until you find out who the judge was appointed by. RIP in peace, friend.

If that doesn't screem evil I don't know what does.

Soon, bird law expert Charlie Kelly will be nominated to the Supreme Court

Can you fail to prosecute a case that doesn't even make it to trial though? (slightly/s) Sports teams don't get a loss on their record if the game doesn't get played.

When Republicans say “meritocracy” it’s code for “white.”

One time in my career, I appeared in the courthouse where the film Law and Order. I could not stop humming the theme song during the entire court appearance. The show is very accurate compared to the real life place. But the courtrooms are lit brighter than the show.

Or even *desired*...
