N.J. Division of Law Position Provides Low Pay, but You Play
Working as a New Jersey deputy attorney general doesn't pay much -- $55,945, compared with six figures in the private sector -- but the benefits are terrific. The intangible benefits, that is.

The glut has even led one major firm to cancel this year's summer program -- laterals will be its next hires.Estate Work by Out-of-State Lawyers Called Unauthorized Practice of Law
Out-of-state attorneys are being reminded they could get in trouble if they work on New Jersey estates. A New Jersey Supreme Court committee opinion says only two narrow exceptions permit the hiring of a non-New Jersey lawyer for such work. It's not clear, however, if the opinion's protectionist interpretation will survive if the state high court adopts a multijurisdictional practice proposal bubbling up in the ABA.Trending Stories
