How does one get employed there? Do they generally hire right out of law school?

Thank you for your elaborate and informative response that could be offered had I asked about any office in the United States. Does anyone have any real information based on an actual source and/or experience?

I can tell you that I've seen postings on Symplicity for entry-level jobs there, i.e. staff attorney, but I don't think they recruit at schools in the fall and/or hire as a class or anything. It seems like a hire-as-needed office. I doubt it would hurt to just get in contact with someone there, maybe an alum through your career office and just ask them directly about hiring and let them know you're interested.

Perhaps the simplest means of finding out is to simply call them and ask. I would guess ties are either required (residency requirements) or are very important.

Either way, give them a ring.
