Alabama Legislative Session Opportunity for 2Ls and 3Ls
Alabama Legislative Reading & Research Service LLC is looking for several 2L and 3L students to work for pay this spring with the Alabama Legislative Session beginning next month. ALRRS is a private company that provides bill tracking and research for clients including lobbying and law firms.
There will be a need to possibly work late nights due to the unpredictable meeting hours of the legislature but it is rewarding work that pays and it is different from a traditional law office clerking position. The legislative session begins the first week of February and ends in May.
If interested, contact Stephen Morris at 834-0011 or stephen@alrrs.com
