Thinner ranks have been well-documented, but it’s the qualitative degradation of new hires that I would worry most about.

For example, what’s the percentage decline of T14 representation in selective DoJ components and programs, such as SLIP and Honors?

No disrespect to those scrappy Scalia Law kids.
