Thanks to the reader who sent us this...

This posting if for a full-time, unpaid legal internship opportunity for a 2L, 3L, JD, or entry level attorney.

Busy boutique small firm in San Gabriel, CA seeks immediate legal intern interested in gaining experience in litigation, law and motion, legal research and writing, and client management.
The ideal candidate will be interested in gaining hands-on experience in the areas of civil and business litigation, state and federal criminal defense, and employment law. A licensed attorney intern will have the opportunity to appear in court, with the possibility of trial work experience.

Bi-Lingual Chinese Mandarin speaking a plus, but not required.

  1. Stick a fork in this hopelessly glutted profession. It's done.

  2. Sorry, but this sounds like something good compared to other things.

    What other things? Sitting at home watching TV, or at the park gazing at peoples' eyeglasses.

    Sure you are being exploited. But you are also gaining experience, without any really big commitment. When you graduated law school you could barely figure out how to ask a judge if you can tie your shoelaces. You'll know know a lot more than that when you figure out it's time to leave this lucrative position.
