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.

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.

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.
