Freelance Lawyer Resources
If freelancing or contract lawyering is what you'd love to do...someday, when you're ready to jump from that steady paycheck job, you might be interested in these resources:
National Association of Freelance Legal Professionals, founded by Melody Kramer and Amanda Mineer. The organization helps freelancing lawers by offering events, such as the August 12, 2008, Finding Freedom! Working As a Freelance Legal Professional at the University of San Diego.
Stephanie West Allen, author of the Idealawg, was kind enough to forward the link to Hate your job? Try Grindhopping, which takes a close look at Laura Vanderkam's book Grindhopping: Build a Rewarding Career Without Paying Your Dues.
