De Novo is the only place I’ve seen more than once advertise for UN-licensed law grads rather than licensed probably so they can justify paying $25 per hour instead of a more reasonable rate. They have one such project starting next Monday, Dec. 7.
At least it gets the recent grads some work…I guess.
Also, thinking about the Stanford criminal trial that will be tried in Houston, in Judge Hittner’s court, the govt. collected a lot of info. For the receivership, FTI has billed for collection of “over 500 hard drives, dozens of flash drives, CD’s, DVDs, dozens of portable hard drives, over 140 Email PST’s with attachments, individual and group share drives, and 120 file shares and 38 servers.” Sounds like there may be a lot of documents in there to be reviewed. That’s good news. Unless you’re one of the defendants … or the person paying to defend someone.
While it does seem like a happy thing that someone is looking around to fill a few seats in a review in Dallas, and even better that the review is slated to last through next March, the prospect is somewhat dimmed by the prospect of being locked into a pay rate of $26 until then.
