All,
Need some help. I have numerous JAG buddies who clerked after JAGC who received credit for their experience. Our admin in chambers sent me this justification for why after 8 years of federal legal experience I would come in as a 13 step 1. They stated only civilian service would count.
Any regs you could provide to counter this would be very much appreciated.

The HPR is either (1) the highest rate of base pay4 in effect when a General Schedule (GS), JSP, or CPS employee held his or her highest grade and highest step within that grade; or (2) the highest rate of base pay previously received by an individual while employed in a civilian position in any part of the federal government (including service with the government of the District of Columbia for employees first employed by that government before October 1, 1987), without regard to whether that position was under the GS, JSP, or CPS pay systems.
