Decent Legal-Related Jobs for Graduating UGs

Post by blerggggg » Wed Dec 02, 2015 4:24 pm

Hey everyone,

I was hoping if anyone knew of some decent/great two-year jobs for graduating undergrads. I'm mainly looking for jobs that would be legal related so it would give me some kind of advantage compared to non-legal related.

I have a pretty solid idea that I want to do PI/Govt. work, so if anyone knows anything specific to that I would greatly appreciate it. Few law schools have beefed up PI scholarships (NYU's RTK, UPenn's Toll, etc.), so I mainly want to work in the nonprofit, NGO, or govt. setting to qualify for these scholarships. Already have three internships so far that are PI/Govt related.

Plan on applying so far, if they have slots open:
ACLU, Brennan Center, HRW, Federal PD Offices, NYC DA office, ABA, etc. This kind of realm interests me.

If you have an idea that's not PI I would still love to hear it (I needz the monies/work to live)! Thanks in advance!

project assistants, or even legal assistant/paralegal positions in biglaw? many are positions specific to new grads interested in law school and want a 1-2 yr commitment. this is something i wish i'd known about upon graduating!
