Attorney Jobs (www.attorneyjobs.com) – This Thomson/West enterprise is a two-tiered subscription service that posts legal and law-related jobs with government agencies, courts, corporations, law firms, advocacy groups, and international organizations in the US and abroad. The site also offers a $150/hour, phone-based career coaching service.

eAttorney (www.eattorney.com) – A subscription-based employment service connecting lawyers, law students and law firms.  Founded in 1996, eAttorney was among the first online legal recruiting sites for law students and lawyers.

Monster (www.monster.com) -  contains legal and non-legal databases.  Offers an overview of employers and several interfaces for job hunting.  You can search by company name, location, discipline, industry, job title, or combinations of these.

Hieros Gamos (www.hg.org/employment) – In ancient Greece, hieros gamos – or hierogamy – meant “holy wedding”.   It’s an apt description for this encyclopedic marriage of all things legal. Founded by a law firm consortium in 1995, the site presents a wealth of posted legal jobs (domestic and international), links, and thoughtful, career-oriented material. There’s something here for anyone leaving a job, losing a job, changing careers or seeking alternatives. And it’s free; go to the tool bar and click on Employment Center.

Womens Job List (www.womensjoblist.com) — Founded in 1999 for employers and job seekers dedicated to diversity and inclusion.
