Candidate Qualifications
Thompson Legal Assistance takes great pride in providing highly competent representation to our clients. As a result, the law firm will actively screen all applicants in terms of both proficiency and moral standing. While a negative criminal history can adversely affect your employment opportunities, the mere presence of such will not automatically disqualify an applicant. In addition to good moral background, we seek the following characteristics:
1. Licensure to practice law in the State of Iowa, and a willingness to consider licensure in Nebraska and South Dakota. (this may not be applicable for law school interns)
2. Experience in drafting documents of legal efficacy preferred.
3. Litigation experience highly preferred.
4. Education or experience in serving the public (degrees in psychology or similar, or experience in exceptional customer service, or the like)
5. Excellent written and oral communication skills.
6. Strong analytical and legal research skills.
7. Knowledge and skill in modern technology devices and methods are required. (we are a virtual law office using electronic delivery for much of our services)
8. Ability to collaborate as a team in a virtual environment.
