Employment Law Attorney Is the New 'Apprentice'

If Donald Trump has any workers' comp woes, his new "apprentice" should be able to help him out.

In the finale of the sixth season of the NBC reality show The Apprentice, held on April 22 at the Hollywood Bowl, Trump selected 32-year old Stefani Schaeffer as his new apprentice. She is the first attorney to be selected and only the second woman.

Schaeffer attended Southwestern School of Law's accelerated SCALE program and graduated in the top 10 percent of her law school class. Her specialty is defending employers, primarily real estate developers against workers' compensation subrogration, discrimination, and product defect claims.

For her $250,000 salary for her year as the Apprentice, Schaeffer had the choice of overseeing a skyscraper in Atlanta or a new condo/resort complex in the Dominican Republic. She chose the Caribbean assignment.
