The Interns' Revolution

A Surprising Decision in the Lawyers' Bar

Soon: Law interns will receive a salary for extra hours [additional
hours]. The proposal was accepted yesterday in the Central Committee
of the lawyers' Bar, and it will be brought forth in the next few days [in
front of the] to the Labor Court- by Shani Mizrahi.

The way to the desired position in a law firm is conditioned by an
exhausting internship. We all know the stories of the law rookies
who are forced to run errands, type mountains of summaries and
work extra hours for a small salary in return. However, soon, so it
seems, these stories will become [turn into] ancient [distant]
history.
For many years the Regional labor court in Jerusalem has
conducted a discussion in the matter of extra hours for interns.
During the discussions the judge of the Regional labor court in
Jerusalem, Judge Eyal Avrahami, has asked for the stand of the
Central Committee of the Bar, in order to determine the sentence
that will apply on the interns in all that is connected to additional
working hours. Until now interns were employed for many hours,
sometimes even 12 hours a day, without receiving extra pay, yet so
it seems, soon the young interns will be entitled to a salary for
those extra hours. Yesterday a long discussion filled with
contradicting opinions was set in the Central Committee of the Bar,
which in the end of it accepted the proposal of the head of the Bar,
attorney Yuri Guy-Ron, which according to it the law interns will
be entitled to receive a payment for the extra hours. By that the
committee in fact accepted [adopted] the stand of attorney Nachum
Feinberg, Chairmen of the forum of labor laws in the Bar. "The law
of labor and rest hours applies to the interns with no exceptions to
this matter," says Guy-Ron.
