New Attorneys Should Consider
Contract Legal Work to build their career
Many new attorneys may not have been offered their dream job and now ﬁnd themselves
diving into a difﬁcult legal market in hopes of
securing employment. While searching for
that permanent legal job, consider working as
a contract attorney - a licensed attorney, hired
on a temporary basis to provide substantive or
document review work for a ﬁrm or company.
Contract work can vary from document review
to projects that are substantive in nature, which
typically involve doing legal research and writing.
While some may view the temporary work with
skepticism (the unknown duration of the project, sporadic periods of employment, or lack of
employer sponsored beneﬁts), there are certain
advantages that are appealing to new attorneys.
For those who may be unsure of what ﬁeld of
law might be most suitable for their individual
interests, the opportunity to do contract work
can help narrow the realm of possibilities, while
providing a way to gain practical experience that
will bridge the gap between law school and their
ﬁrst permanent job. Contract work exposes new
attorneys to various types of law. Each project
involves its own unique practice areas and complexities.
Contract work also offers valuable opportunities to make connections. Whether you are
working on-site at the client’s place of business
or off-site, you will be surrounded by a wide network
of attorneys, offering an
opportunity to develop
relationships that can be
beneﬁcial to you throughout your legal career.
The ﬂexibility to pursue
other interests and continue your job search can
also be appealing to many.
As long as you meet the Jeckering
weekly hour requirement
of your project, you will
likely be able to allocate additional time to your
job search or other pursuits while generating income.
The most effective way to promote availability
as a contract attorney is through your local bar
association’s legal stafﬁng agency. By forming
a relationship with your local bar association,
you will enjoy access to contract employment,
continue to learn about developments in the
law, and build a professional reputation that will
serve your career for years to come.

University Law School and is a professional Recruiter/Project Manager for Dawson Legal.
On November 11, 1919, America celebrated the one year anniversary of
the end of World War I with a holiday
called “Armistice Day.” Although observed in many states, Armistice Day
was not made a national holiday until 1938. On June 1, 1954, President
Dwight Eisenhower, who had served
as Supreme Allied Commander in the
European Theater in World War II,
signed the law naming the national
holiday “Veteran’s Day. ”
On November 11, services and programs around America will honor all
American men and women who have
served in the armed forces. The most

solemn observance is in National Cemetery, in Arlington, Virginia, where a wreath is placed on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
and a two minute silence is followed by a volley of shots and a
bugler sounding “Taps”.
In World War II alone, some 16,000,000 young American men
and women, served in some branch of the military and suffered
over 400,000 casualties. Since then, America has had troops in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and other parts of the world.
This year, the Columbus Bar Association will observe Veteran’s
Day by inviting all Bar veterans to a lunch. There will also be CLE
programs on: the stolen art treasures that were the subject of the
movie “Monuments Men”; veteran beneﬁts; representing veterans in domestic relation matters and restoring lost veteran rights.
Please contact CBA for details and reservations.
