    The Justice Management Division of the Department of Justice has announced the availability of its FY 2023 Service Contracts Inventory and Inventory Supplement. This inventory includes details of service contracts over $25,000 awarded during the fiscal year and provides insights into the money spent and labor hours worked on these contracts. The information is used to assess whether the Department is utilizing contract labor effectively and maintaining a suitable balance between federal employees and contractors. Sensitive or proprietary contractor information is not included in the inventory.

    In Executive Order 14230, the President addresses issues with the law firm Perkins Coie LLP, accusing it of dishonest practices that have undermined democratic processes and engaged in racial discrimination. The order mandates a review of security clearances held by Perkins Coie's staff, limits their access to federal resources, and requires government agencies to review and potentially terminate contracts with the firm. It also calls for the investigation of possible discriminatory practices in large law firms and restricts federal hiring of Perkins Coie employees unless it does not threaten national security.

    Simple Explanation

    The President made a rule saying that a big law firm, Perkins Coie LLP, might have done some naughty things like being unfair and not telling the truth. So, he wants to check the security badges of people working there, stop giving them special stuff from the government, and look into other big firms to make sure they're being fair to everyone.
