What a fun week speaking to paralegals and legal assistants interested in new roles. The southeast legal market is BUSY and I love it! If you are in the Carolinas or Georgia, let's talk about these openings! #legaljobs #carolinalegalmarket #atlantalegal #beaconhilllegal

Paralegals and law clerks are both excellent resources to have at your firm! But, which one is best for expansion? Hire a paralegal if ➡️ Your law firm needs to reduce non-billable tasks but does not need an extra attorney. Paralegals are excellent at these tasks and their hourly rate is a fraction of an attorney. Hire a law clerk if ➡️ Your law firm needs high level support from an attorney but does not have the resources to hire a staff attorney right now. Law clerks are law school students or graduates who can conduct legal research and provide legal insights. This is a great role to hire if you want someone who can work up to becoming an attorney at the firm! #paralegal #lawclerk #lawfirmhiring

Federal clerkship opportunity for Fall 2024. **Edit made May 18 at 12:30 p.m. MST** 👇 Maybe you have a job for Fall 2024 lined up, so you're thinking, "Shoot, I'd love a clerkship, but I can't back out of my job at XYZ Law Firm." Don't think that way. I'd say the overwhelming majority of firms would be thrilled for a new lawyer to have a federal clerkship. It is a phenomenal way to learn civil procedure and evidence, the flow of cases, and how judges approach cases. If you're interested in any clerkship but have a job in hand, don't be shy about asking the firm if it'll agree to defer your offer for a year.

I have long believed that those of us who work as in-house civil local government attorneys have the very best legal gigs around. Generally, lawyers who work in our sector enjoy what they do immensely, like their clients (most of the time), experience atypical longevity in the job, and have better work/life balance (whatever that is these days!) than lawyers in virtually any other sector. I swear we're the best kept secret in the practice of law! Which is why I seize every opportunity to let folks know we're out here, and that there are opportunities to explore. Our good friends in the Raleigh City Attorney's Office are hiring an Associate City Attorney. The Raleigh metro area continues to enjoy strong growth. In the annual best-performing cities rankings from the Milken Institute, an economic think tank, Raleigh clocked in at #2 in the country, just behind Austin, TX. Raleigh is the 41st largest city in the U.S. by population at just under half a million people. Suffice to say there is A LOT going on in the City of Oaks, and the in-house legal team has no shortage of important, impactful, varied, exciting, dynamic, and community-shaping work to do. BONUS—they're the nicest bunch of civil local government lawyers around (except for my group down the road in Durham City Hall, of course!).
