[blindlaw] prelaw student seeking employment for a year

In California a law firm cannot employ you as a "Paralegal" unless you have 
attained a paralegal certificate in Paralegal Studies. refer to Business and 
Professions Code #S 6450 et seq. Some law firms will hire clerical positions 
or legal secretaries but this will not give much real exposure.
