[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks, everyone, for the feedback.  I seem to be getting a lot of input from those who are in or are looking to go into Big Law.  I will never work in big law. I didn't graduate from a great law school and I have always worked in public benefits. For my particular situation, I still don't see how doc review would hurt my resume. For instance, in 3 years if I decide to be a staff attorney at legal aid, do you really think they'd look down on me for having worked in document review?  I also don't think it would create that many conflicts because most legal aid cases involve low income individuals that usually don't have substantial ties to larges businesses, multiple people, etc.[/quote]

What you are hearing is that it has a bad reputation. What you are hearing is that it will not help on your resume. You may find understanding potential employers, who don’t discount you because of that. But even those will not consider it real legal work. It is  considered the legal equivalent of a data entry position. You should do it if you need the money, but understand how people view it (whether or not justified) and based on this, consider not having it on your resume.  [/quote]
