This week, veteran attorney Mayer Morganroth, of his own firm, Morganroth & Morganroth, PLLC, tells LawCrossing about how he got his first job immediately after graduating from Detroit College of Law, which is now Michigan State University College of Law, when he was only 23 years old:
''The last year that I was in law school, I worked in a firm that only did appellate work. At that time in Michigan, appeal work was extremely complicated; there was no court of appeals, which made it very complicated. I worked for Mayer Weisenfeld, who did only appellate work. When I was admitted to the bar, I had a clientele of lawyers already who would give me their appeals, so I opened up my office by myself. I looked like I was 16, and I was 23. People used to come in and say, 'Gee, you're awfully young to be a lawyer.'''
