Legal Analyst
Thinking about going to law school?
This job will give you far more exposure to the law – and allow you to have a life outside of work – while doing truly interesting, meaningful work
About the Firm
Pollock Cohen is a fast-growing public impact law firm. Our cases make a difference in people’s lives, and we wake up every day excited about the work we do.
Position Summary
We are looking for a smart, energetic, highly organized recent college graduate to join our team in a key role: as a legal analyst. Responsibilities include non-legal research, potential new matter intake, and case support. A key difference between this position and similarly-titled – or paralegal – positions at other top firms is that at P|C you will have a substantive role in important and varied cases from day one. As one of our current legal analysts wrote, “We don’t hire recent grads to toil for us, but rather to work with us.”
We want someone who is pretty sure they want to go to law school, but would love to have some real hands-on exposure to the profession before they take the plunge. We ask for a two-year commitment.
We have had about a dozen folks who have done a version of this job over the six years we have been in business. Most have gone on to top law schools; a few are working in other positions, including for some of our former colleagues who have started their own firms. And that’s a good thing for everyone! Because, candidly, we have changed the job responsibilities and expectations.
The ideal candidate will be graduating from a top undergraduate institution, be really interested in law, and have demonstrable experience as both a self-starter and a team player.
If this sounds like you, we’d like to hear from you. For the right person, this is a spectacular opportunity.
