Unauthorized Practice of Law Alert

Recently, we had an employer post a position seeking a student Legal Researcher, but the employer did not have a supervising attorney for the position. Oak Brook Construction's posting has been pulled as we do not want to expose any of our students to the perils of the Unauthorized Practice of Law (UAPL). If you sent your resume to this employer, please know we have already informed the employer that we have pulled the job posting. With the poor economy, we have become more vigilant to these types of potential issues. If in doubt on a legal employment situation, please ask for help -- we're happy to help you navigate away from UAPL.
