The Justice Department is offering bonuses of up to $25,000 to new hires, as the agency reportedly struggles to attract talent to replace thousands of lawyers lost under the Trump administration.
Recent job postings for the DOJ’s civil division advertise that “well-qualified candidates may be eligible for a signing bonus of up to $25,000,” while internally the agency is paying attorneys in the division bonuses of up to $220 per pay period through Thanksgiving, Bloomberg Law reports.
