Drug testing for big law paralegal gigs?

Post by bogwai » Sat Jan 23, 2010 3:03 pm

I'm thinking about taking some time off before law school and working as a paralegal in big law. For those of you who have done it in the past or have any idea, when do firms test candidates? And do they do hair tests?

I rarely smoke marijuana, but decided to make the mistake of indulging last night...

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

How long ago was this? I read vault 25 do -- and some even hair test. Of course, whether I should believe the caustic comments on autoadmit is a whole nother story.

It was a year and a half ago.

Mine never did. Yours probably never will unless they're pretty sure you're on drugs AND want to fire you.
