Like everybody, lawyers have a kind of scale of progression. I think one of the things the federal government wants to do as an employer is recruit bright young lawyers and then make sure they stay within the federal government by offering them possibilities to progress. So there is an entry level, which is 1A. I think it goes 1A, 1B, 2, 2A, 2B, and then 3. After that I've kind of lost track of it.
