i wouldnt call this a "sh*t" law job by any means. unlike a document review or personal injury mill, it seems like this firm has some sort of substantive law areas that they actually want to teach an entry-level associate.
ReplyDeletethe salary is excellent for an entry-level position in the tri-state area (the only entry-level attorney positions that would pay substantially more than 50k are "big law" associate positions in large (>50 attorneys) firms, and many of these positions disappeared since the beginning of the economic depression in 2008 & 2009.
it says that the hours are long, but it sounds like the partners have some sort of civic / religious / personal life outside of their legal careers, and are looking for someone who has or would want to develop local ties as well.
this would be a dream job for me, unfortunately the link on craigslist is now gone, so i cant apply.
you either work for the firm or are deluding yourself. ppl don't spend 150k+ and 3 years in law school for these kinds of jobs. you can get a bettr job than this with just a bachelor's in poli sci. this isn't the shittiest job i've seen, but it's shitlaw nonetheless.
