[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doc review is not "keeping your hand in the pot." It's a career killer. I would only do it if you never plan on going back to a real legal job one day.

Normally I would agree with this.  But if OP isn't working at all now, I don't think the doc review jobs would hurt her future career prospects.  [b]She doesn't even have to put them on her resume.[/b]  Not doing so would negate some of the benefits of 'keeping your hand in the pot' (which I agree with you isn't really what doc review would be), but she would at least be making some money.

I'd look at the income as more valuable than any aspects of keeping your hand in the game.[/quote]

I don't see how you can avoid putting it on your resume.  You will have to list the cases you worked on while a doc reviewer during the conflict check so it will come up.[/quote]

This is what kills the doc reviewer career. Listing your cases conflucts you out of a lot of places. BigLaw firms hold orientations for doc review to make it 100% clear that you are not to list their prestigious firm on your resume. That means your resume is loaded with all the doc review companies no one cares about.[/quote]
Unless you were employed by the firm why would you list it on your resume? You put your temp agency on your resume[/quote]

To look good and have a shot at decent, permanent employment. Why else? [/quote]

Well, I could put a SCOTUS clerkship on my resume to try to look good, but it doesn't make it any more accurate.[/quote]
