Spectacular Summer Opportunities for Law School Students in the South

We’ve heard word today about two very attractive opportunities for law school students. We thought we’d share some of these amazing jobs with you to lift your spirits about the summer employment market.

For example, an email went out this morning at the University of Georgia Law School about “legal research positions”:

Subject: short term job at the law library

I am looking for two or three folks to work moving books during May and June. It is dirty, manual labor, but the schedule can be pretty flexible. I can offer each person 100 hours at minimum wage ($ 7.25/hr.)

Sounds tempting!

Oh, shoot. You had to act fast….

This went around a little over an hour later:

Subject: I’m overwhelmed with responses

It’s 1:05pm on Friday.
I already have 20 responses to my inquiry about a job moving books this summer.
If you have not yet responded, sorry I’m going to quit looking at this point… [I’ll] send you all a note when I know just how ruthless I have to be in the selection process.

Even dirty, manual labor is competitive these days.

Meanwhile, there’s a truly explosive opportunity at the University of South Carolina School of Law. A few Gamecocks sent along this posting from the South Carolina Law Job Board:

Not sure if it’s a coincidence that the posting coincides with the school’s slide to third tier in the 2010 rankings, but after three years there this posting is not surprising in the least bit. This is a place where someone took a crap in the hallway one night during finals week.

I didn’t realize people took this “Third Tier Toilet” thing so literally.
