Yes, right, that's what trainee can expect if they are lucky. The worst happened to a colleague of mine: the secretary of her dominuses (the owners of the law bureau) required she should use a credit card to pay for the stuff to start trials. In few words, the trainee was pushed to pay for the legal expenses of the bureau. What a stunt: a jobless trainee still forced to live with her mother despite her 30 and more years old facing the mockery to almost get forced to ask for a credit card to her mother or father (or sister) to pay for someone else's bureau expenses. In another occasion, the lawyers asked her to go to a city at 100KM or more, obviously at her expenses, to get a CD-ROM they had forget at the computer maintenance. Perfectly knowing my friend, in addition, hasn't a driver's license. Well, she couldn't help but refuse. But the moral of the story, at their turn, a lot of lawyers in her city are 100% supported by their parents because most of clients don't pay them for their legal services, so they can't pay for the rent and the bills of their bureau. It's like a cat chasing its tail...
