Overview
Law Clerk Jobs in Los Angeles, CA at Quill & Arrow LLP
Quill & Arrow, LLP – Law Clerk (Recent Law Grads Welcome)
Quill & Arrow is California’s leading plaintiff-side lemon law firm, representing consumers in high-impact automotive litigation across the state. We’re looking for a driven, detail‑oriented Law Clerk who wants real responsibility, hands‑on training, and daily mentorship from experienced trial attorneys.
About the Role
As a Law Clerk at Quill & Arrow, you won’t be stuck doing busywork. You’ll be embedded on an active litigation team and will see cases move from intake to resolution in a fast‑paced environment. You’ll gain firsthand exposure to motion practice, discovery strategy, negotiation, and trial preparation – all with structured guidance and feedback.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct targeted legal research and analysis on state and federal consumer law, civil procedure, and evidence.
- Draft and revise substantive legal documents, including complaints, motions, discovery requests/responses, and settlement communications.
- Review and summarize deposition transcripts, expert reports, court filings, and key client records to support case strategy.
- Organize and maintain digital and physical case files, ensuring that deadlines, court orders, and discovery obligations are tracked and met.
- Assist attorneys with client communications, including intake interviews, status updates, and preparation for testimony.
- Support trial and hearing preparation (witness outlines, exhibit lists, demonstratives, trial binders, and logistics).
- Attend mediations, court hearings, and internal strategy meetings to observe and participate in real‑time advocacy.
- Collaborate closely with attorneys, paralegals, and support staff to streamline workflow and improve systems.
What We Offer (Training, Mentorship, Growth)
- Structured onboarding and training on lemon law, civil procedure, and our litigation workflows.
- Direct mentorship from supervising attorneys who will review your work, provide substantive feedback, and help you build courtroom‑ready skills.
- Clear growth path into more advanced responsibilities (motion drafting, oral argument prep, client management) based on performance.
- Exposure to high‑volume, impact litigation that will sharpen your judgment, writing, and strategic thinking far more rapidly than many traditional clerkships.
- A supportive, team‑oriented culture that values initiative, professionalism, and continuous learning.
Qualifications
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) or recent law graduate; strong candidates with a B.A. and substantial legal experience will also be considered.
- Strong research and analytical skills; ability to translate complex authority into clear, actionable arguments.
- Excellent legal writing and editing skills, with close attention to detail and citation accuracy.
- Comfort using legal research tools (e.g., Westlaw, Lexis, Fastcase) and standard office software.
- Highly organized, able to manage multiple deadlines in a fast‑moving environment.
- Professional communication skills and strong client‑service mindset.
- Familiarity with litigation practice, court rules, and legal terminology; prior clerkship or law‑firm experience is a plus but not required.
Who This Role Is Ideal For
This role is especially well‑suited for:
- Recent law school graduates who want immediate, meaningful case involvement instead of a purely academic clerkship.
- Candidates interested in consumer protection, plaintiff‑side litigation, or trial work who want to see how cases actually move through the system.
