I love the title! One of my colleagues worked for victim
witness before getting the bar results. most of us that were
lucky enough to find positions just worked as clerks in the
firm till we were sworn in. a couple worked for Lexis and a
couple just kept their old jobs. Have you got interviews
lined up or ideas where you want to work after you get your
results? try them now. Good luck and try not to get too
discouraged. you might not land the plum job right off, but
once you've gotten your feet wet it will get easier.
