MHSA is probably your friend’s best bet. Consulting firms do a lot of recruiting at target schools for MHSA candidates

What are typical MHA/MSHA target schools?

I mean he/she could recruit for a small boutique which is local to your area. Big firms it’s a little to late for the UG cycle. I agree with the MHA or MHSA route if he wants to directly go for grad school.

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!
