You! Yeah you! Basic Experience Requirement: Awaiting bar results -- two years in practice. Starting Compensation $4000.00/month. Additional Requirements: 1) A desire to sue banks. We sue banks! That is the motto of the Mellen Law Firm. We have filed over 200 civil litigations in the last three years against every banking institution operating in California. We litigate foreclosure-related disputes for the homeowner. The experiences of this firm have revealed that the banking industry operates like organized crime -- without ethics, morals or concern for the law. We wage a constant war upon this injustice. If you are sympathetic to banks this is very much the wrong place for you. 2) A desire to learn Civil Litigation. The litigators at this law firm master civil procedure at the bleeding edge of complexity. Any given case involves multi-jurisdictional litigation at the intersection of non-judicial or judicial foreclosure, state superior court practice, unlawful detainer litigation, federal removal jurisprudence, class action jurisprudence and bankruptcy, as well as appellate, and writ practice in the California Appelate Courts and the 9th Circuit. We do it all and we do it for the Calfornia homeowner. We give the highest level of service to our clients. New associates will do hearings, sit 2nd chair at trials, interact directly with clients, defend depositions and travel to all parts of California on emergency hearings, as well as perform research and write briefs. 3) Confidence & an ability to learn quickly on-the-job. The litigators at the Mellen Law firm must tackle multiple overlapping areas of substantive law touching foreclosure related issues in order to help the homeowner, including: * The civil code sections covering non-judicial foreclosure (including California's new Homeowner's Bill of Rights); * Secured transactions, Contracts, and Torts; * Mortgage-related concepts, and some basic real estate law; * Federal Fair Debt Collection practice, consumer law, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act; * Truth-in-Lending-Act practice, the Business and Professions Code.....legal ethics..... If this sounds like a lot to learn -- it is! In fact, we never stop learning. If this sounds fun to you, keep reading. 4) Working fast, and working well with others. If you were the first one out of your law exams, we want you. We work fast (really fast) and have lots of fun doing it. You will not work alone. We operate like a think tank and there is a lot of project-sharing and collaboration, but daily drafting is at a high volume. Associates are drafting numerous motions, letters, and finished work product daily amidst noise, interruption and legal emergencies. 5) You must subject yourself to a rigorous, competitive evaluation process. The Firm utilizes the following hiring process: * All candidates are allowed to begin a paid contract legal assignment at $20.00/hour. If you apply you will be given an assignment. * Each day the candidate with the weakest work product will be cut until one candidate remains. This process will take one or two weeks until the final candidate is offered on-going employment. If you have seen reality television shows where contestants are cut from episode to episode such as Top Chef, Top Shot or Project Runway -- it will be like this. Do you have what it takes to be Top Associate? * If you want to participate you will come to the first day of hiring with your laptop ready to begin. You will be given a group orientation, and then an individual interview. You should be free to work 8 hours per day for the next two weeks to participate in the evaluation. If you are interested in applying to the Mellen Law Firm please call Molly Bell-Mellen re: "hiring" at (650) 638-0120 between the hours of 12:00 and 5:00 pm on October 3, 4th and 5th. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "We sue banks." Wonderful. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Well, jobs for new lawyers are kind of scarce. Why not? At leats they are saying 8 hours a day, not the normal new associate 12 or more. |

ZOOOOOM!

Because they're taking advantage of the desperation of others. I know, I know, that's the founding principle behind all corporate entities, but we can talk about that, too. |
