[quote=Anonymous]For what it's worth, no one here has mentioned contract work. Most positions are grueling e-discovery work which means sitting in front of a computer reviewing thousands of documents. It's terribly boring work but law firms need lawyers to do it. I've tried it but the money simply wasn't worth the upset to the family. There are agencies that place lawyers in these positions but pay can be as little as $15 an hour. By the time you've driven downtown and parked, you have to work a few hours to pay the parking. Some positions give a per diem to help out. IT's boiler room work but it does exist. It helps if you have fluency in a foreign language - the pay in those cases jumps. Good luck! Sorry people have been so mean here. Unfortunately the market is awful and it is true that the big law ship has sailed. But I did Biglaw for six or seven years and hated it. Far more rewarding to raise my children and do oddball legal projects that come my way.[/quote]
