  • New opportunities to use your skill set.
  • Enlightened companies hiring JDs for an expanding number of nonlegal roles
  • Guidance and motivation to help you move forward
  • And a career where you can thrive, outside of the legal world

We’re adding new positions every day to the job board by extensively networking with Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) and Talent Acquisition leaders (TAs) from companies throughout the US.  It is very much a work in progress as in so many cases we are educating them as to why they should want to hire JDs and the skillset you bring. This is the heavy lifting and one of many ways ex judicata with its JD-only laser focus is different than the giant, general employment portals.
