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.
