I think resigning in protest does more harm than good in the long run. They just replace you with a loyalist or an incompetent. Don't do their job for them. Make them fire you.

You can smell the desperation from here.

Have to wonder if any of these fresh graduates are wondering about what long-term damage they may be doing to their professional reputation.

How hirable will you be if the first few years of your law career you were were laughed out of every Court because you were trying to defend a historically unpopular administration?

AKA: the fast track to setting disbarred and sanctioned.

typically you avoid people long in the tooth of thier career if you need vice-grip control over your subordinates.

these freshies, probates, pledges, strykers and cannon fodder, will be stood up to scapegoat and rotated out for inner circle members who will solve the newbie generated failure, to great accolades

Previously per Harvard law school advice:

USAOs do not ordinarily hire AUSAs directly from law school or clerkships. The limited exception to this practice is the Department of Justice’s Honors Program, which typically includes some AUSA positions. If accepted through the Honors Program, an applicant can become an AUSA straight out of a clerkship or fellowship. For the most part, however, AUSAs are hired at least three but more commonly four to eight years out of law school, after a clerkship and/or time litigating for a law firm, working as an Assistant District Attorney (ADA), or obtaining comparable litigation experience, perhaps at a state Attorney General’s or City Attorney’s office. Hiring decisions are holistic, and rest on one’s academic record, litigation experience, writing skills, commitment to public service, personal recommendations, and interviews.
