Paid legal internship in California's Bay Area

This career opportunity aimed at recent bar takers was forwarded to us by a reader, who keenly notes: "Notice that this position is in 'South' San Francisco, a different municipality altogether from San Francisco.

Entry-level attorney jobs in California's Bay Area

Every few months, this firm seems to advertise for entry-level lawyers on Craigslist. The good news is they've upped pay from $9 per hour to a whopping $14-$18 per hour! We would say don't spend it all in one place. But that might prove difficult in a pricey place like the San Francisco area. 

We are a small but fast growing law firm in Mountain View California. We now represent more than 13,000 clients, many of which are startups and small businesses across the United States. We want to ensure that we regularly communicate with each of our clients, and that we have a process in place to make sure that our existing clients are happy with our services and have an attorney with whom they can regularly speak.

As such, we are looking for three Client Relations Attorneys to join our growing team. You must have excellent client relations/customer service skills, and must be able to put the needs of our clients first. You must be licensed to practice law in at least one U.S. state, and must be courtious and diligent. Must be personable, a team player, and must be patient with clients.

This is an Entry level position, and is an excellent opportunity for a recent law graduate who has passed a State Bar (California or another state) to grow with our law firm. You will gain experience directly working with and managing our existing clients in a professional and courtious manner, and get a chance to join the ground floor of a fast growing law firm. Initially, the majority of your time will involve serving as a non-bilalble Client Relations attorney, but you will also get opportunities to help on billable matters at our firm as our requirements increase.

Compensation: Small base non-billable client relations work - $14 to $18/hr to start

Entry-level personal injury attorney job in Los Angeles

Thanks to the reader who submitted this...

DOES THIS DESCRIBE YOU?

Recently graduated law school and passed the bar?
Wondering how the heck you're supposed to pay off your loans?
Given up on winning the lottery of coveted "big-firm" $160,000 /year associate positions?
Competing for scarce/non-existent LA lawyer jobs that pay less than you were making as a non-lawyer?
Trolling around the net for those hard-to-find "no-benefit" contract projects that pay $30/hour if you're lucky?

While you're continuing to do all of that, this opening is aimed at those recent graduates who would like the opportunity to earn a healthy chunk of $$ and learn "how to fish" at the same time, by working with a reputable and experienced trial lawyer on real cases, and helping real people. Learn the skills involved in running, managing, litigating and most importantly trying (as in jury trial) a personal injury case so you can eventually be free of your $30/hour nightmare toiling for other lawyers, and ultimately work for your own clients (isn't that why you went to law school?).

This is a trial- and litigation-intensive law practice based in Los Angeles (handling cases throughout Southern California), with a unique kind of offer for the right candidate(s).

Please send resume and cover by e-mail (through Craig's), and make sure to include an e-mail address.

NOTE: Please understand that it may take several days / weeks before we can get back to you -- but we very much appreciate each of your responses, and we do go through all of them.

San Diego attorney job

This job was sent to us by the employer...

This is more of a business opportunity than a job. The successful applicant will have full use of all office resources for three months, after that the candidate will be expected to contribute to office costs and overhead.
