Law clerks who haven't yet passed the bar exam aren't entitled to overtime pay, the 1st District Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday.
The court rejected the appeal of Matthew Zelasko-Barrett, who claimed the Novato asbestos litigation firm of Brayton-Purcell LLP should have paid him overtime for the nearly two years he worked there after graduating from law school but before passing the bar.
