Outgoing AG Mukasey this morning in his farewell remarks bestowed the Randolph Award on his deputy, Mark Filip, who gave up a federal judgeship in Chicago to take over the post at a time of crisis for DOJ and served less than a year in the job. ”The highest award I can bestow on a department employee,” Mukasey said.

an image of the nifty diptych plaque. Janet Reno bestowed 61 Randloph Awards on top officials in her 8-year tenure. Clinton-era receipients include three former DOJ officials nominated to lead the department in the Obama administration: Eric Holder, David Ogden and Dawn Johnsen. The awared is named after Edmund Randolph, the nation’s first AG appointed in 1789. Don’t worry, there’s PLENTY of other awards to go around. Just check out this catalogue here.
