Work-from-home legal research job

I am a litigating attorney and require research assistance for a case against Trustees of a New York Trust Fund. The balances in the Trust fund have dissipated by 70% due to excessive distributions of principal. The beneficiary is under disability and has children. Claims for breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and excessive distributions of principal may exist.

The candidate must have trusts and estates litigation experience

I need research assistance to develop claims under the EPTL as to excessive distributions of principal and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (one of the potential defendats is also a FINRA registered broker/dealer). A problem exists in that the Trust document permits distribution of principal. The action would be brought in White Plains Westchester County Surrogates' Court.

I need cases and statutes demonstrating liability of Trustees under these circumstances, not memos of law. Later assignments will follow to draft complaint and other pleadings.

The work can be done at home and transmitted via computer.

Location: Westchester/Putnam
Compensation: $20 per hour
Telecommuting is ok.

I have a temporary project that must be completed by either a law clerk or a licensed attorney. You must have been on law review, have excellent legal writing skills, and have prior experience in civil and commercial litigation in the Chicago area working for a law firm as a law clerk or attorney. I am looking for somebody ASAP to work on the following projects:
--Assist me in drafting answers, complaints, discovery, etc. to help me get my case files caught up and organized;
--To begin to develop my forms in the areas of civil and commercial litigation, which are organized in a concise way. This document will essentially become a "how to" training manual for my law firm;
--To work with me this Saturday and have the work completed within a three (3) to five (5) day period;
--This position is a temporary position and will be utilized on a "as needed basis". If you are an attorney, this is essentially law clerk/drafting position and I am not looking to get you or me conflicted out on a particular case(s).

You must travel to my office off of Wacker Street in downtown Chicago on Saturday morning to get this assignment and 1/2 pay. The other 1/2 pay will be given to you upon completion of the assignment (in three to five days).

Entry-level contract attorney job in Philadelphia

The job is simple; you will recieve documents via email and go argue in court, probably the next day. The types of hearings include but are not limited to: civil hearings, POs, etc, 341 Bankruptcy Hearings, criminal hearings, and debt collection hearings. This is an excellent way to gain litigation/ courtroom experience, confidence and money. For the recent graduate looking for a job, there truly is no better way to make some money and gain extrememly marketable experience. The talk about gaining experience is not a ruse to disguise an insulting pay rate. You will get $80.00 per hearing, $30.00 per additional hearing at the same location, same day. Please respond via email with a cover letter explaining what hearings you believe you would be able to handle and why, a resume, and include where you are located how far you would be willing to travel per hearing. Remember, you will not get paid for your gas, so don't overextend yourself. I want this to be mutually beneficial and it can not be if you are spending all day driving to a hearing you should have passed on.

IMPORTANT MATTERS TO UNDERSTAND:
1. YOU WILL BE AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, NOT AN EMPLOYEE, THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU GET HURT DRIVING TO A HEARING, AT A HEARING OR AS A RESULT OF ANYTHING HAPPENING AT A HEARING, YOU WILL HAVE TO SUE SOMEBODY ELSE IN TORT, AND NOT ME IN A WORKER'S COMP CLAIM.
2. I WILL NOT CARRY MALPRACTICE INSURANCE FOR YOU
3. IF YOU AGREE TO GO ON A HEARING AND YOU JUST "SKIP IT" I WILL TERMINATE YOU IMMEDIATELY AND FILE SUIT AGAINST YOU.
4. YOU WILL BE PAID AS I INVOICE CLIENTS, I WILL STRIVE TO GET YOU PAID WITHIN 60 DAYS OF RECEIVING YOUR MONTHLY INVOICE. THAT CAN CREATE A PERIOD OF 90 DAYS OR MORE WHERE YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO GET PAID. IT IS INCREDIBLY INCONVENIENT, BUT YOU ALWAYS WILL BE PAID. IF I COULD DO IT ANOTHER WAY, I WOULD.
5. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO INVOICE ME EVERY MONTH WITH A LIST OF WHAT HEARINGS YOU ATTENDED, THE DATE, THE PARTIES, AND THE RESULT
6. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO SCAN AND FAX ANY SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS OR JUDGMENTS AND EMAIL THEM TO ME THE SAME DAY AS THE HEARING
7. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO REPORT THE RESULTS OF YOUR HEARING WITHIN 24 HOURS
8. YOU WILL NOT BE PAID FOR GAS, OR ANY OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED.

Attorney job overseeing outsourced legal work

Wow, you can't make this stuff up. As the reader who submitted this lead notes: "This is the direct result of the ABA and its Big Firm interests allowing/encouraging outsourcing - ever decreasing jobs for American-trained and indebted attorneys and crap work from overseas from folks who have no clue what they're doing. Great job ABA! KUDOS!"

Major outsourcing company seeks JD or attorney in the States to review work product of attorneys overseas. Requires QC or second-level-review experience.

This is a 100% work-from-home project requiring 40 to 50 hours per week for approximately 6 weeks. This project is for a Fortune 500 client and there will likely be regular telecommuting projects in the future. Also, opportunity to join this fast-growing outsourcing company on a permanent basis.

Due to the particulars of this project, the pay is below market at $22/hour. But the position does offer the convenience of working from home.

Work-from-home attorney job

Thanks to the reader who submitted this:

We are a start up US based company and we need to be associated with a US based lawyer or attorney. Since we are a start up we can only afford to pay around $10-15 per hour for an attorney and the hours per month would be close to 15 hours. The hours and hourly would grow as our company grows.

We are ok with with a fresh lawyer someone who wants to start up on odesk and build a good profile with us. We also do not mind experienced lawyers applying if the rate is ok to them.

Your role would mostly include reviewing our contracts and agreements and signing those if needed as our attorney. We will obviously put in more legal work in your plate as our company grows but for right now this will mostly be it. You can work on this project along with your other jobs and make some extra bucks.

The communication will take place via email, skype or phone and we will only reach you when you are available. We are very flexible with the timing and usually will give you a lot of time to review and sign contracts.
