The Best and the Brightest
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OFFICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS
Applicants must possess a J.D. degree, be an active member of the bar (any jurisdiction), and have at least one year of post-J.D. legal experience. Because OLC's 24 attorneys handle some of the most difficult and important legal issues confronting the Executive Branch, it is highly selective in its hiring. The ideal candidate will have exceptional academic credentials, judicial clerkship or comparable experience, strong background in constitutional law, and outstanding legal research and writing skills.
Apparently these are the qualifications of the people who concluded that torture of American prisoners is legal.
