The Legal Job Market Is Even Worse Than Many of Us Thought

An Above the Law post discusses the following ad on Craigslist:

Superior Court of San Mateo County Seeks Volunteers

The Legal Research Department of the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, is seeking attorneys willing to volunteer their time as a legal research attorney with a minimum 6 month commitment to the court.

Sounds like the San Mateo Superior Court needs to read “Unpaid Internships May Be Illegal” and “US Department of Labor Says Unpaid Interns Illegal.”  Maybe the law doesn’t apply to courts that are “above the law.”
