The document discusses strategies for career services offices (CSOs) at law schools outside the top 25 rankings to help students find jobs. It notes that while these students may take longer to get jobs and earn less than top school graduates, many regional and national firms still recruit from and hire graduates of non-top schools, especially those near their offices. The CSO should encourage students to network, get relevant experience, and have alumni and faculty advocate for them. Maintaining relationships with legal employers and alumni is important for opportunities. The CSO should provide reassurance to students facing challenges in the difficult legal job market.
Law schools are dropping the LSAT requirement to increase diversity. Removing the LSAT requirement allows for a more diverse pool of applicants, as the LSAT disproportionately impacts minority and disadvantaged students. Without needing to take the LSAT, applicants save time and money, and law schools can consider a wider range of talented candidates. This benefits both students and the legal profession by promoting greater diversity among lawyers.
At each stage of your career, the importance of your law school grades will diminish, and your work experience will take precedence in hiring decisions.
Grades are important to many law firms when making hiring decisions. However, the weight that they carry in these decisions most often depends on the particular firm involved and whether you are (A) a junior attorney or law student, (B) a mid-level to senior associate, or (C) a partner.
The document provides summaries of several articles from a magazine for lawyers. The articles discuss:
1) General counsel demanding high standards from outside law firms.
2) The need for law firms to improve diversity and promote more women and minorities.
3) The competition in the legal industry and importance of client loyalty and sales.
4) The trend of lawyers and clients demanding more flexible work arrangements.
This document discusses the challenges that foreign-educated attorneys face when seeking employment in the United States. It identifies the main factors as: 1) whether the attorney has proper working permission in the US, 2) US law firms primarily hire students they interviewed on campus while in law school, leaving few openings for others, and 3) foreign attorneys are disadvantaged compared to US-educated attorneys in the hiring process due to lack of access to the same resources and networks. It provides tips for foreign attorneys in researching opportunities and customizing their applications to maximize their chances of finding US legal employment.

Law School Brain Drain: Why Are More People Failing the Bar Exam?LawCrossing
Declining bar exam passage rates and an influx of law students with lower LSAT scores have contributed to the phenomenon known as the "law school brain drain," wherein the most qualified candidates are choosing not to attend law school. This is problematic as it lowers the overall intelligence and qualifications of the legal profession. To address this, law schools should consider accepting GRE scores to widen the applicant pool, recruit more candidates with STEM backgrounds, and offer improved financial aid options to attract top students. Fixing the brain drain will help raise bar passage rates and the prestige of legal education.
The document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR) and whether it benefits companies' profits. It notes that CSR has become a large industry with many consultants and that most major companies now discuss their social goals and good works. However, CSR that directly improves profits may not satisfy critics of companies, and CSR that does not boost profits could be unethical. The document profiles Marc Benioff, CEO of salesforce.com, who argues that corporate philanthropy can transform a company's culture for the better by attracting and retaining employees, though he opposes government mandates for CSR. It also discusses a report criticizing Shell, British American Tobacco, and Coca-Cola for claiming to support CSR while negatively impacting
FLSA 101 The Fair Labor Standards Act (e-book)Ross Brand
The document provides an overview of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards. It discusses the history and purpose of the FLSA, key aspects such as covered businesses and exemptions, and how the Department of Labor administers and enforces the act. It also summarizes requirements around minimum wage, overtime pay, child labor provisions, and distinguishing employees from independent contractors.
The Spokane INSHRM team has designed an internship program to provide educational internship experiences for students interested in human resources. The program aims to make the internship process simple for employers while benefiting interns through relevant work experience. Employers post unpaid or paid internship opportunities on college career websites. Interested students apply and are interviewed by employers. If selected, interns and mentors sign agreements outlining responsibilities and expectations for the duration of the 10-week minimum internship. The program provides structure to find qualified interns and ensure a valuable learning experience for both parties.
This document summarizes key findings from a study exploring how legal work experience impacts access to the legal profession and the development of professional identity. The study found that students from more affluent backgrounds were more likely to obtain early and ongoing legal work experience. Formal vacation schemes were highly structured assessments that evaluated interpersonal and "soft" skills in addition to academic performance. The study suggests legal education should provide students with career guidance, support developing employability skills, and critically examine how the profession is reproduced to enhance access.

The document provides a summary of the in-house legal market outlook and hiring trends for 2015 in Singapore. It finds that the outlook is positive with noticeable increases in mandates and opportunities. Lawyers with corporate finance and capital markets experience are highly sought after, as are those with regulatory and compliance expertise.

EBC Legal Salary Survey and Market Update HKLinus Choo
The document summarizes trends in the Hong Kong legal job market and compensation. It finds that demand remains strong for mid-level in-house corporate lawyers, particularly those with experience in China or regulatory compliance. Law firms are struggling to retain junior associates as many pursue perceived better career prospects and work-life balance in-house. There has also been an increase in newly created sole legal roles in organizations seeking to strengthen their legal functions regionally. Salaries generally increase 5-10% annually, with larger bumps for career changes, and ranges from HKD$40,000-150,000 depending on experience level.
The document discusses increasing demand for legal talent in data privacy due to changing privacy regulations globally. As regulations in the EU and US change, laws in Asia-Pacific regions like Singapore are also evolving, such as with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act. This is causing companies to seek out legal candidates with expertise in data privacy to ensure ongoing compliance. The penalties for non-compliance under these laws have also increased, further incentivizing companies to focus on privacy and find qualified talent in this area.
The demand for immigration lawyers has increased substantially in recent years due to a rise in immigration and immigrants coming to the United States from different cultural backgrounds. This has attracted more law students to specialize in immigration law and has prompted more law firms to create immigration law departments. Various committees have also taken steps to improve the standards and availability of immigration lawyers to meet growing public demand. The increased demand has led to greater competition to enter law school and become an immigration lawyer. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts continued job growth in the field of around 13% over the next decade, providing opportunities for new immigration lawyers.
This document contains a job profile for a legal intern position at Bell Helicopter. The internship would involve attending negotiations, drafting and reviewing agreements, and participating in internal meetings. Applicants must be pursuing a Juris Doctorate degree with a GPA of at least 2.75 and 60 credit hours earned. The position is located in Fort Worth, Texas and pays an unpredictable wage, often unpaid. While the applicant does not currently meet all requirements, completing law school would make him eligible.

Tough economic times are driving more experienced professionals to pursue executive MBAs.

2. Employers have discretion to decide if candidates are suitable based on all available evidence. Factors like attitude and experience are also important, especially for senior roles.
3. Guidance is needed due to increasing use of social media in hiring and outsourcing of checks. Employers should aim to be fair, non-discriminatory, and fact-based in their processes.

White Paper (How to Use Law Degree) 9.18.14)Richard Brock
This document discusses how the traditional paths to success with a law degree, such as joining a large or small law firm, are no longer viable options for many lawyers due to changes in the legal industry. Technological advances, outsourcing, reduced demand from clients, and new competitors have made it harder to earn a good income as a lawyer. The document argues that rather than debating whether law school is "worth it," graduates should focus on determining the best way to use their law degree given this new reality of the legal job market.
Understanding The Requirements To Be A Licensed Police Officersean38
Requirements to become a police officer vary by agency but generally include:
- Having a high school diploma or GED, although some larger agencies now require a bachelor's degree
- Being a US citizen aged 21 or older with a valid driver's license
- Passing physical, medical, and written tests
- Undergoing a background check where felonies will be disqualifying
- Completing intensive training at an academy to become a licensed officer

Firms are hiring more paralegals to reduce costs while lateral hiring is risky. Outsourcing and alternative business structures are expanding the types of legal services offered. While technology improves efficiency, firms must have a strategy for upgrading systems. Overall, the legal market is changing rapidly but the profession will continue to innovate and lead globally in legal services.

- New associates must be prepared for constant change in the legal industry as law firms change how they recruit, hire, develop, evaluate and compensate associates. There is little associates can take for granted.
- Associates must take proactive responsibility for their career by regularly assessing trends in the legal industry, their firm and their own career development. Simply focusing on tasks will not ensure long term career success.
- Firms are putting more emphasis on training associates in core competencies but associates cannot become complacent and must still take ownership of their own professional development to adapt to a changing legal landscape.
