This title of the Justice Manual (JM) addresses Human Resources policy matters affecting the Executive Office for United States Attorneys and United States Attorneys’ offices. Policy guidance is structured and numbered in parallel with Title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), to facilitate reference by users and to maintain currency with respect to changes in Human Resources law and regulations.

In any instance where policy is not stated in this chapter, and in any instance where policy which is stated in this chapter erroneously conflicts with guidance published by higher authority, e.g., Justice-wide policies or Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulations, higher-level guidance will govern.
