Follow-Up Note:  It was always expected that Jones Day lawyers would do well in terms of landing legal jobs in the new administration. Don McGahn, ATL’s reigning Lawyer of the Year, served as the Trump campaign’s general counsel and was quickly named White House counsel after the election, and the transition team boasted several JD lawyers. But this is still a ton of top jobs.
