From scouting the help-wanted, I've figured out where the law jobs are: Not in law firms. In the broad field of communications, be it pure or faux journalism to public affairs, the demand is growing for those with a legal background. Some actually require the JD.
Currently, the American Association of Justice [AAJ] has three communications openings:
- Legal Communications Writer, which you can access here
- Assistant Editor, here
- Legal Content Editor, here.
Reality 2008: It's not the job, it's how we leverage the knowledge base, skills, and contacts we acquire during that experience on-a-job. Newbie legal writers like Eric Tucker from AP and me The Blogger took that dry-as-watching-paint-dry experience of the Rhode Island Lead Paint Trial II and ramped it up into extreme opportunity.
