Here’s a scenario: You’re a law clerk in Boston looking for a job in
international commercial litigation. People claiming to be associated with a
British insurance business contact you about a $90,000-per-year in-house counsel
job with the company. An interview is conducted in your home, where the
individuals question you about your relationship with your judge. Then, for some
reason, they insist on flying you to Halifax, Nova Scotia, for a second
interview at which they reassure you that your speech impediment won’t be a
deal-breaker because, they say, they’re primarily interested in your writing
skills. A third interview takes place in a New York City hotel.
After all that, it’s revealed that the interviews were fake — a ruse
concocted by lawyers who were trying to prove that the judge you worked for had
fixed a case that went against their clients, a group of litigants that had lost
control of a family-owned supermarket business.
Oh, and the judge involved? She's now TV's Judge Maria Lopez.
