DOJ Offers Unpaid Position to Experienced Attorneys

The Department of Justice has posted an advertisement for an unpaid position targeted towards experienced attorneys. The location is the Attorney’s office in the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The work will be in its Asset Forfeiture / Financial Litigation Unit of the Criminal Division.

Unpaid work in the federal government and county and state courtrooms for entry-level lawyers has been in the news. But this is the first time that the DOJ is looking for lawyers with substantial experience to work for free for a year. The job ad says that the minimum requirement is 3 years of legal experience, but the preferred qualification is that the lawyer should have 5 years of experience after law school.


D.C. Court of Appeals Delivers Opinion on E-Discovery Vendors

The increasingly blurred line between the tech work done by e-discovery firms and actual lawyers has forced the D.C. Court of Appeals to clarify who can do what kind of work. In its 11-page opinion, the court says that to practice law in Washington D.C., an individual needs to be an active member of the District's bar association.

The opinion comes amid increasing concern in some legal quarters that e-discovery vendors are making misleading advertisements and offering services for which they not are qualified to do. The main example of this is e-discovery firms claiming to do “document review” and “the discovery process”. Both involve various processes, some of which involve applying one's legal judgment. But some e-discovery vendors are offering “end-to-end” services.

Don’t Be Dead Weight–Contribute More than You Take
Harrison Barnes | Dated: 01-27-2012

One of the most important things you can do in your career is generate value for your employer far in excess of what you receive back. You can talk your way into a high-paying job, but you will not remain there unless you provide more than you take. Organizations thrive when all of their members produce goods and services efficiently. Your career depends on providing more than you take, and surrounding yourself with people who do the same.
