Finally on Someone's Payroll

From time to time, the student body will get a mass email looking for a student to take on a short-term research project for a professor or an attorney. As luck would have it, one of those emails coincided with my last day at the state supreme court. I sent in a resume and got the job, so for the last week I have been poking around the library on behalf of a local law firm, trying to see if its client has a legitimate claim.

This is the first experience I have had working for a real client. More importantly, it is the first hard evidence I have that people in this town sometimes do in fact get paid for doing legal work. Very heartening.
