What are the responsibilities and job description for the Post-Bar Law Clerk position at Daspit Law Firm?
About the Role
You’ve just walked out of the bar exam. You’re sharp, ambitious, and ready to fight. If you're looking to coast into a cushy gig where you'll be pushing papers and grabbing coffee, this ain't it.

Here, you won’t just observe the action—you’ll be part of it. You’ll draft motions that matter, prep witnesses for real depositions, and help with trials where the stakes are high and the margins are thin. When your license comes through, you’ll already be battle-tested and ready to roll with an opportunity to excel at a fast-paced, feared personal injury law firm.
The Daspit Law Firm is a mid-sized and fast-paced plaintiff’s firm with offices throughout Texas and in Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
