Nevertheless, unless specifically asked by a client to work for his/her company, traditional methods of searching for an in-house position might not produce the desired results. If you were to ask one of your firm's clients if you can work for his/her company, how does that make your current firm look? What if your request gets back to your current law firm? http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70007/The-In-House-Position-Maze la1 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 06:00:00 GMT Looking for the perfect in-house position? Our database contains every in-house legal department in the United States and abroad. (For American attorneys relocating abroad, we generally recommend that they approach only U.S. companies, due to compensation and other issues which can be complicated in any international relocation.) We can cover a specific city or the entire nation. Our job at Legal Authority is to ensure that we put your name in front of every company that may need an attorney like you. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70008/In-House-Law-Jobs la2 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 06:00:00 GMT Yes… you can be a college professor if you are already a lawyer. Your law degree provides you entry into academic life beyond just the teaching of law. Your degree provides you with sufficient academic stature to teach almost any subject in which you have a background. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70009/Academic-Positions la3 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 06:00:00 GMT ''The year I spent as a clerk was the most intellectually challenging and relaxing year of my legal career.'' -Former law clerk http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70010/Clerkships la4 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 06:00:00 GMT There are thousands of prosecutor and public defender jobs. There are prosecutors in virtually every city in the United States. What an excellent way to get actual courtroom experience and uphold the Constitution! http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70011/Public-Defender-and-Prosecutor-Jobs la5 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 06:00:00 GMT There is a lot to consider before you make the leap. Wanting to help those less fortunate is noble. All religions believe this, and secular society concurs. However, you will be relatively meagerly compensated for your efforts. Many lawyers do pro bono work as a way to give to charity, but their main focus at work is to bill paying clients so that they can make high salaries. While these lawyers are helping a cause occasionally, they are hardly devoting themselves full time to public interest law, and the focus of this article is on those of you who may wish to do so. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70012/Is-Public-Interest-Law-for-You la6 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 06:00:00 GMT At Legal Authority, we believe that for many attorneys there is no better job than working for the federal or state government. One of our Employment Advocates used to work for the United States Department of Justice, and the way he tells it, after 5:15 p.m. each evening, you could fire a canon down the hall because everyone had gone for the day. In addition, as he tells it, there were several attorneys who would actually show up day after day, month after month and literally do nothing. In all seriousness, though, there are some major advantages to choosing a career with the government. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70013/Thinking-About-Government-Employment la7 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 06:00:00 GMT Change of career? Are you currently an attorney looking to get out of the legal profession? More and more, people from diverse walks of life are obtaining their J.D.s without having the intention of necessarily practicing law forever. They realize the prestige that a J.D. will bring to them in any business venture. Doors will be open to them in many corporate areas. Or at the very least, doors will be open slightly more to them than to others without such a degree. http://www.legalauthority.com/articles/70014/Non-legal-Jobs-for-Attorneys la8 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 06:00:00 GMT
