: Legal Pad | LAFree associating
By Richard Binder
A handful of Am Law 100 firms are offering stipends to hundreds of law graduates if they work for a public interest group for a year. Legal aid organizations are eager for free help, though they say they need to hear more details, such as who will pay benefits and what strings are attached.
Most firms are offering to pay the lawyers around $60,000 for the year, more than what many senior lawyers at public interest firms earn in San Francisco.
Firms are sounding out organizations they already have pro bono relationships with, but most are also open to associates' suggestions and leads. Though firms did not name the organizations they are working with, the groups include free legal aid programs, prosecutors' and public defenders' offices, nonprofits and public policy advocacy groups.
