Doc Review
Project Attorney
Chicago, IL
I was staffed on a project for about two months. The supervisors were friendly and reasonable. This was my first and only document review, but from what I’ve heard the pay was slightly below market.

Not challenging but pays well
Attorney
Baltimore, MD
Spend your days staring at millions of documents on a computer screen, looking for small nuggets that need to be redacted. Do this for two years. Get compensated well, but ultimately a contractual job with no benefits.

Easy Job
Review Attorney
Phoenix, AZ
Reviewing documents may be boring but the work is easy, little obligation and you pretty much set your schedule. It's a good job if you have some part time work or a small book of business.
