1. You can't "practice" law until you have obtained your license - have you confirmed with the Committee of Bar Examiners / State Bar Association that what you are doing is sufficient in order to qualify to take the bar exam? You would also need to take the MPRE - multi-state professional responsibility examination and pass the moral character evaluation;

2. Check the postings at the law school you are obtaining your LLM from - they should have an alumni center or job center for graduates;

3. Check the classifieds and/or ads in your newspaper, Craigslist, or local law magazine/newspaper.

4. Did you make any friends who work as attorneys and/or in law firms? See if any of them know of any job openings...
