Title: "Revolving Door," Post-Employment Laws for Federal Personnel
Authors: Jack H. Maskell, American Law Division 
Abstract: Federal personnel may be subject to certain conflict of interest restrictions on their permissible private employment activities even after they leave the service of the U.S. government. These restrictions, applicable when one enters private employment after having left government service, are often referred to as "revolving door" laws. For the most part, other than the narrow restrictions specific to procurement officials, these laws restrict only certain "representational" types of employment activities, such as lobbying or other advocacy communications which are directed at, and are intended to influence, current federal officials.
