Any relocated attorneys on this board?

I know several transplanted Attorneys.
most are working - but moved here after getting their jobs.
I know one attorney who just moved here but is looking for a non-litigating position so she does not have to take the bar.

CAtostx,
What's a non-litigating position. In order to practice any Law in the USVI one must follow the Supreme Court Rules 201 thru 207.:S

CAtoSTX

I am as of yet unfamilar with that set of Rules, but I presume that you are
referring to the fact that every licensed attorney in VI is given Court appointed litigation.

Which does mean that at some point every Island attorney must do
pro bono litigation. Unless you work with a national or international firm who generally has one attorney doing that type of work for everyone in the firm.

Every attorney should do to appointed litigation. I have had great experiences in doing that work and learned a new area of the law in a few
cases.

OK, one attorney doing pro bono?
In, like for free?(do the rest of the lawyers pitch some in for the lowly pro bono guy)?
This reminds me of the guy at the marina who works on heads(marine toilets), they call him the "head mechainic"...EW!

Ah, what do I know?
I learned much law from my cousin Vinny!:D

Vinny Gambini: Did you fall in your place or somebody else's?
Neckbrace: My place.
Vinny Gambini: Shit.

"Your honor, I have no further use for this guy !"

IE: a Judical clerk.

I Think you mean "Judicial Clerk". The Clerkship positions for Federal Court are highly competitive and go to Top of the class recent Law School Graduates (the 3rd Circuit Court from New Jersey) These positions last one or two years, there are no career positions available in the US Virgin Islands. The Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands are only filled by recent Law School Graduates.

I did... I do a lot of typing on this board from my phone. Please forgive misspellings and punctuation errors.
I know a few clerks who worked as attorneys before their clerkships (not straight out of law school), and other clerks who have been in their posts for years (more than the usual 1-2 year contract).

If an individual is licensed to practice in the upper 50, In order to clerk in the US Virgin Islands they must pass the US Virgin Islands Bar Exam. There is no Career Civil Service Judicial Clerk positions available in the US Virgin Islands. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Marunner - If you'd like to talk to some transplanted Attorneys, I will be happy to "introduce" you.
I can put you through to Clerks, Criminal, Family, and non-working attorneys - PM me.

Lizard - where are you are getting your information?

From my law clerk, who works for Federal District Court on STX, From my Brother who is a US District Court Judge out of New Jersey and From Supreme Court Rules 201-207 for the Virgin Islands. I think Marunner can explain to you how it works I have already given him the proper information.:P

CAtoSTX,
the US Virgin Islands has Three Court systems, Superior, Supreme, US District Court. The Courts do not hire Judicial Clerks, The Judge Hires via a system called OSCAR.:-o Oh and the only position available now is for and accountant in the Supreme Court admin office. I hope this helps you on your quest for knowledge.
