New Website Assists Law Students and Recent Grads with Job Search

Philadelphia (PRWEB) June 12, 2008 -- AssociateLocator.com announces the launch of its new website designed to help law students and recent law school graduates with their search for employment.

AssociateLocator.com was created by three attorneys, each dissatisfied with the tools available for identifying and hiring new lawyers. As a result, they created AssociateLocator.com, the only legal employment website focused on bringing law school students and recent graduates together with law firms and attorney recruiters (http://www.associatelocator.com/HowWeWork.aspx).

"Other legal employment sites cater to experienced attorneys looking to make a lateral move," said Cathy Whiteman, a spokesperson for AssociateLocator.com. "We created this site to help law school students and new graduates find legal employment. Our goal is to unite an associate or intern with a law firm that offers a position in a practice area and a geographical location that satisfies the desires of the associate or intern and the law firm."

A one time flat fee provides law school students and recent graduates searching for entry level law jobs the ability to post a resume and search law job postings (http://www.associatelocator.com/HowWeWork.aspx) posted by law firms. The fee also permits a law student looking for an internship to post a resume during his or her first or second year and then switch his or her employment preference to a full time position during his or her third year at no additional charge.

Typically it takes nine months for a law school graduate to find his or her first law school graduate jobs (www.associatelocator.com) because there is a disconnect between law school graduates and the majority of attorney employers, who do not actively recruit new attorneys or do not have the budget to do so effectively.

"Generally only large firms with recruiting budgets actively recruit law school students on campus and these few firms are only interested in the top 5 to 10 percent of each graduating class," said Whiteman. "That means that 90 percent of each class must rely on his or her school's career resource center or his or her own resources to find new attorney employment (www.associatelocator.com)."

AssociateLocator.com is free of charge to law firms and attorney recruiters. By providing search criteria that places prospective interns' and associates' qualifications before legal employers, at no cost to the legal employer, AssociateLocator.com makes it easy and inexpensive for employers to find ideal candidates to fill their positions. This creates a unique forum for law school students or recent graduates seeking legal employment. Visit AssociateLocator.com for more information about our services.

Eleven Attributes Of A Good Criminal Defense Attorney
People often ask me how to determine if a Criminal Defense Lawyer is good or not. Having practiced as a San Francisco criminal defense attorney throughout California for thirteen years I have developed some opinions about this, which are laid out in the eleven rules below. These attributes can help make the difference between a good, bad or mediocre result. Remember that good criminal defense lawyering is as much an art as a technical skill. There is no substitute for experience. On the other hand it is unfortunately true that some veteran lawyers are tired of practicing law or have been doing it the wrong way for so long, they can?t change their ways. These rules apply to all criminal cases, whether drunk driving, driving under the influe...

Bidding Strategies for State Tax Liens
Once you get the when and the details of the terms for a state tax lien certificate or deed auction, you will want to use the list of unsold tax liens (or deeds) and begin investigating the parcels that they represent. Do not be concerned if you get with a list with several hundred properties, this will be a very nice problem to have as you will pretty much have a guaranteed tax lien to buy somewhere in that list, because after you get the hang of reading the details then skimming the list will become just like skimming through real estate advertisements. This similarity will make tax lien investing much simpler.

E-Discovery Emergence In Civil Litigation
The law, as a means of administering dispute resolution and criminal accountability, must be able to adapt to revolutions of industry or technology. We are currently in the beginning years of a technological revolution that will only grow and continue to change the way humans live their lives. Computer and internet use have changed the way that people and business think and act. In today?s judicial system, a case (either civil or criminal) is often decided by the evidence produced and discovered prior to trial. As computers have become the integral components of any successful business operation, the records on those computers have become more difficult to discover. Not only because of the difficulty of gaining access to an adversary?s comp...
