Job Description
The Law Offices of Anna R. Yum is an elite, fast-paced, and highly respected law firm
specializing in high-stakes criminal defense and civil litigation. We are currently seeking a
driven and ambitious Law Clerk eager to gain unparalleled real-world legal experience that law
school simply cannot provide.
This is not your typical law clerk role. At our firm, you will play an integral role in the defense
of clients facing life-altering charges, including murder, sexual assault, and other serious
felonies. You will be part of a dynamic team that handles cases from intake to trial, giving you
comprehensive exposure to the entire litigation process under the mentorship of a seasoned
attorney.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Real Courtroom Exposure: You will regularly accompany attorneys to court, gaining valuable face-time with prosecutors and judges, as well as developing practical advocacy skills.
- Hands-On Trial Experience: Work side-by-side with attorneys preparing for major felony trials, preliminary hearings, law and motion work, assisting in crafting the opening and closing arguments, assembling evidence, and shaping trial strategies.
- Client-Centered Work: Directly contribute to defending clients in high-profile cases where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
- Mentorship and Professional Growth: Learn from experienced, battle-tested attorneys who are deeply invested in your professional development.
- Rare Insight: Gain exposure to aspects of criminal law that most clerks never encounter until years into their practice.
Compensation:
$22 - $25 hourly
Responsibilities:
- Conduct detailed legal research on complex issues and present findings to the legal team.
- Assist with the drafting of pleadings, motions, and trial materials.
- Help organize and prepare exhibits, body-worn camera footage, witness statement summaries, and case briefs.
- Manage legal files and track case developments using case management software.
- Attend hearings and client meetings alongside attorneys.
- Support attorneys in trial preparation, gaining insight into high-stakes litigation.
- Perform general administrative tasks as needed to ensure smooth case progression.
Qualifications:
- Strong research, writing, and organizational skills.
- Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and professionalism.
- Excellent communication and attention to detail.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and legal research databases.
- Ability to thrive in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.
