Career Planning and Placement Office Launches Law Clerk for Hire Database
The Law Clerk for Hire Database, or “LC4H” as it has become known, is the brainchild of Barbara Weinzierl, Director of Career Planning and Placement. The idea for LC4H came to Barbara after attending a meeting of the Akron Bar Association Small and Solo Practitioners Section. At that meeting, Barbara learned that many small law firms and solo practitioners may need law clerk help, but that the need went unfilled for a variety of reasons, including cost and lack of time to devote to hiring. Specifically, many small firms and solo practitioners do not have a need for a ”permanent” law clerk but might need help for projects on a case-by-case, hourly basis. Section Chairs Diana Colavecchio (’89), Susan Durr (’83), and Lynne Earhart (’07) agreed with Barbara that if Akron Law and its students could meet this need, it would be a great resource for the Akron legal community. -
