Entry-level personal injury lawyer job in Boston

2013-03-08T10:12:00.000-05:00

Do you want to be a personal injury attorney? Do you want to negotiate settlements, go to court and try cases? Do you take pride in your work and expect the same of others? Do you believe that you are motivated, well organized, able to multi-task and willing to work hard to ensure your own success? If not, this job is not for you. If so, please keep reading.

We are a small Boston based personal injury firm consisting of four attorneys and four case managers. We understand aggressive representation and pushing cases forward makes clients happy, and that happy clients result in more clients, which results in more money, which will result in our happiness. We work hard. We have fun. Workdays fly by, there is never a dull moment, there is always more work to be done and we are never bored. We expect a lot to get accomplished every day, but we also know when to leave the work in the office and enjoy our lives outside of it. Our cases consist of motor vehicle collisions, premises liability accident, product liability claims, negligent security matters, dog bites, workers' compensation and SSDI.

We are looking for a newly admitted attorney to dive in and handle all aspects of litigating smaller cases for the office, mostly auto. Insurance companies have been making such unbelievably small offers that it has ceased to become fruitful to engage in lengthy pre-litigation negotiations. We have many cases on which lawsuits need to be filed. Discovery will need to be done, depositions conducted, case management conferences and pre-trial conferences attended, and, potentially, trials won. Essentially, the new attorney will be responsible for utilizing the company database and state of the art case management system to stay organized, draft all litigation materials, requests for medical records and correspondence to clients and attorneys. The new attorney will be provided with guidance and be expected to do everything to ensure that the insurance companies increase their offers and stop trying to take advantage of our injured clients.

YOU MUST BE ADMITTED TO THE MASSACHUSETTS BAR TO BE OFFERED THE POSITION. IF YOU ARE NOT ADMITTED, DO NOT APPLY.

The position is a terrific opportunity to get into courtrooms and in front of judges, establish relationships with defense attorneys, learn how to manage and push cases toward resolution, and build the solid foundation needed for a fruitful career as a trial attorney.

So, look in the mirror. If you think you are a person that would thrive in this environment, is able to work hard and long hours and be motivated to achieve, all for a relatively small salary today, but with the prospect for greatness in the future, please email your resume and cover letter. In your cover letter, please try to explain why you are well suited for the position.

Location: Downtown Boston
Compensation: The starting salary is $30,000/year

Family Law,
Legal Malpractice,
Credit Card Law,
Tenant's Rights

Flash card writer wanted for law exam

2012-03-27T19:30:00.000-04:00

This law job posting was sent to us by a reader, who writes: "If that one doesn't belong at the top, I don't know what does"...

I want to learn a lot about the Texas Family Code and the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure fast. My goal is to prepare to take the Board Certification Exam in family law offered by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

I learn quickly using an electronic flash card program called "Before You Know It." But I don't have time to sit down and go through the code and rules, write flash cards, and then study all the flash cards I've written. I only have time to study the flash cards you have written.

So that's the job, going through the Texas Family Code and the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, and breaking each section or rule down into a discrete question and answer that will fit neatly into the format of the "Before You Know It" flash card system.

I'll give you the money it costs to buy the software and show you many examples of the cards I have already written, so you get the idea of what I want.

If I hire you, you will compete to keep the job. That is to say, initially I will hire two people to do this job, and you two will work on the exact same set of code sections. I'll pay you each $100 and then wait one week to see the quality and quantity of cards that you produce. After I've had a chance to review your work, and that of your competitor, I'll decide who to hire to do this on a more long term basis.

Beyond my goal to take the Board Certification Exam, my goal is to develop these electronic flash cards into a system to sell to other lawyers who want to prepare for the exam. You will have to sign an intellectual property agreement just to make clear that though you've written the cards, I will retain the intellectual property rights in them.
