Johnson had just started working at Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann, a 54-lawyer New Orleans firm, for about 25 hours a week as part of the firm’s outreach program with his high school. A paid intern, he worked as a “go-fer,” doing entry-level tasks at an entry-level wage. He ran errands for the firm’s administrators and attorneys, and helped with copying, records management and the like.
Nancy Claypool, the firm’s executive director, says the firm has been working with Lawless High since 1990, as part of a New Orleans parish “Partnership in Education” program. Stone Pigman hires one or two students each semester, offering mentoring and training, and spends about $15,000 a year funding a variety of programs, including college scholarships and tutoring.
