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!"

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.
