Book Details Employment and Compensation of 35,000 Attorneys in U.S. Federal Agencies. Not All Jobs Are Created Equal.
With salaries that can exceed $250,000 for attorneys and $100,000 for law clerks, Federal agencies provide surprisingly good opportunities for some.
Fort Worth, TX, December 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Inside the World’s Largest Legal Employer: Careers and Compensation with U.S. Federal Agencies, a new book by John Okray has been released by Lawyerup Press.
The U.S. Federal Government spends billions of dollars each year employing tens of thousands of attorneys outside of the judicial branch. From the Justice Department to NASA, attorneys work in legal disciplines including civil rights, labor and employment, ethics, elections, criminal law, environmental conservation and protection, natural resources, foreign affairs, international trade, national security, military, agriculture, education, contracts, taxation, transportation, banking, finance, securities, communications, intellectual property, science and technology, health, housing and consumer safety.
While the book provides a tactical guide for anyone considering legal employment in U.S. Federal agencies by detailing where the jobs are, what roles attorneys play and how much they are compensated, it also highlights a number of noteworthy statistics. Men hold 75% of the highly coveted administrative law judgeships, while women hold 35% of the 11,000+ positions with salaries over $150,000. Minorities comprise approximately 35% of the attorneys at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development compared to slightly over 10% of the thousands of civilian attorneys within the Department of Defense. The average salary for hearings and appeals positions that do not require a law license is over $100,000 and can exceed $150,000. This in-depth analysis of employment information will be highly informative to anyone interested in administrative law or the U.S. Federal Government.
Author John Okray is Assistant General Counsel of a financial services firm. He holds a BA from the University of Massachusetts Boston, JD from Suffolk University Law School, MBA from the Suffolk University Sawyer School of Management, and an LLM from Boston University School of Law. He is active in organized bar association activities and is also the author of U.S. Federal Courts: Attorney Admission Requirements.
