Finally, guidance, information, resources, and a dedicated job board for lawyers and law students interested in nonlegal careers.

Welcome to the Revolution.


ex judicata is the only employment platform built specifically to help attorneys find nonlegal positions.  We believe that a JD degree should be a door opener and a foundation for myriad careers, not just the practice of law.

We provide resources to set you up for success, connect you with companies that want your skillset, and a community of people who know what you are going through. 

You are not alone.

The EXJ Interview of the Month

We had the privilege of interviewing Nikia Gray, a terrifically engaging physics major and former Biglaw IP partner who pivoted to become the Executive Director of National Association for Law Placement (NALP). An organization you are almost certainly familiar with for all its work supporting lawyers, law students, law schools and law firms. 

You can read it here.
