Your Legal Job Awaits...

Legal Industry


The legal industry has changed over the past few decades, and while there are still jobs for traditional lawyers, there are also plenty of jobs for non-lawyers in the legal field. The legal field is largely comprised of judges, lawyers, paralegals, and legal researchers and secretaries.

Opportunities in the legal field are growing, but the roles are also changing. Even receptionists and secretaries in the legal field require some sort of legal knowledge, whether they're paralegals or simply have experience working in law firms. Lawyers themselves must undergo three years of law school and take the bar exam.

As the economy continues to recover, so do jobs in the legal field. Lawyers are diversifying their experience and sometimes spending their downtime volunteering, while paralegals are taking on more work that lawyers might have done in the past.

Are you looking for work in the legal field? Then you’ve come to the right place. Livecareer has all of the top job listings in the legal industry. Thousands of positions are waiting to be filled in this challenging and thriving job field. Traditional legal roles are growing and evolving, and they need people who can adapt. Find your next legal job on Livecareer, and continue your career in this rewarding industry.
