Should You Consider a Contract Attorney Position? Part I
By: Kandice Thorn
You have multiple law degrees. Good grades. Some relevant work experience back home. Yet, like so many others, you graduate and find that employment opportunities in the U.S. are very hard to come by, particularly for attorneys who do not hold J.D. degrees from U.S. law schools.
But then you hear of an opportunity: a large law firm is looking for contract attorneys with language skills in your native language. The pay is decent and you'll be working in the office of a prestigious firm. Sound too good to be true? Maybe.
