Nothing is really different, they use unique software like Legal Key, they 
are very sensitive relating to conflict of interest and of course you would 
be working for a lawyer????  Also the pay can be low, 50-70,000.  Try to get 
experience with a firm with the idea of moving to a larger firm, bigger city 
or regional responsibility, then you have more say, more freedom and higher 
pay. Network with other firms and employees ASAP so that you understand what 
is available.   Also think of a firm that has international clients, more 
interesting.
