Non-DC Honors Attorney positions? Forum

[jordanelizabeth]

I've rooted around online and haven't found a super satisfactory answer—do any of the federal agencies have clear Honors Attorney programs in their regional offices? I'm most interested in the FTC, CFPB, SEC, Treasury, and HUD, but information on any agency would be helpful. I love DC and have spent a good amount of time there, but other personal considerations are keeping me more tethered to the West Coast. I'm a 3L with a two-year clerkship starting after the Bar this summer, so I've got time to figure this out, I just wanted to get a start on my research. Thanks in advance!

HUD's Honors programs for sure has regional placements. CFPB does not, and I don't believe the SEC does (or if they do, it's likely only a few non-DC placements (e.g. maybe NYC?)).

USPS hires an honors attorney or two in either San Francisco or San Diego every year.

Department of Labor does. Pretty sure FTC doesn’t. Some of the DOJ positions are non-DC (mostly the IJ clerkships, although they’re a good bit different from the ones you mentioned). Also ACE does regional placements, as well as NLRB.
