"An Attorney Without a Job is not the Typical Legal Authority Client: But This is One Success Story You Are Likely to Remember"
Legal Authority's clients are typically in-house attorneys seeking jobs in large corporations and law firm attorneys moving into other law firms. In fact, the majority of attorneys we assist are currently making in excess of $100,000 a year and are coming from respected law firms. Also, we place many new law school graduates. We suspect that this is true because the smartest attorneys generally conduct their job search in the most effective way. Indeed, it is astonishing to us that so many attorneys out there do not take their job search more seriously when it is so fundamental to their lives. This month's success story is about a different type of attorney, who had to overcome several serious problems with his career history.
When Joseph Martin* first contacted Legal Authority, he was extremely skeptical about our ability to assist him. Mr. Martin had been attempting to get a position in the Los Angeles area for over six months without any success whatsoever. Mr. Martin had gone to school on the east coast at a law school that is probably ranked among the bottom ten accredited law schools in the United States. To make matters worse, Mr. Martin had poor grades, but he did pass the California Bar Exam on his second attempt.
*Names have been changed to maintain privacy, but this is a 100% true success story.
"The Road to In-House Employment: Why Legal Authority Works"
Legal Authority probably helps more attorneys market themselves to in-house positions than any other organization in the United States. Every day of the week, numerous attorneys land in-house jobs using Legal Authority.
We speak with many individuals who have been looking for the perfect in-house job for years, but with no luck. After using Legal Authority, many of these same individuals receive multiple offers from in-house employers within weeks. This article will examine some of the common problems with getting in-house employment, and the strengths of using Legal Authority compared to other search methods.
"How to Get a Permanent Position Following Graduation if You Did Not Get Legal Experience During Law School"
Choosing not to work for a firm or clerk for a court during law school is not always the best career move. Most law students find that getting good summer jobs increases their chance of finding a position after graduation. Using Legal Authority, hundreds of law students get summer positions each year. Graduating without work experience will require an aggressive job search and careful marketing.
Some attorneys go to law school with no intention of practicing law. The fact that you have not worked during law school indicates to employers that you may not have had a strong interest in the practice of law. We are going to assume, however, that at this point you want to get a position in the best law firm possible.
