Boyd Employment Woes Solved--jobs available

A debate has been raging based on yesterday's post about whether tough times are coming for newly-graduated attorneys looking for work in Vegas. Some people say Vegas firms believe law California, Arizona, and East Coast law school grads are considered before Boyd School grads looking for work. Others say Boyd School grads just aren't trying hard enough.

As of yesterday, the Boyd School grad woes are over thanks to an email from Councilman Wolfson's office:

[I forward the message below at the request of Las Vegas City Councilman Steve Wolfson, who, as some of you know, also is a former federal and state prosecutor who now has a criminal defense practice.

Dean ******:It was great meeting with you last week. We appreciate your time. Councilman Wolfson would like to encourage any William S. Boyd School of Law student interested in earning a few extra dollars, and helping our community, to consider applying to be a school crossing guard, through Metro's Crossing Guard program.There is a great need for crossing guards at the intersections of Maryland Parkway and Twain and at Twain and Swenson. The pay is $8.91 per hour and they are guaranteed 2.5 hours per day (just a little over $22 per day) . . .

Sincerely, ****** ***** Liaison to Councilman Steve Wolfson

See. Cheer up graduating 3Ls, the opportunities to put your legal education to use are endless!
