The workload will vary week to week, and there is no guarantee of a set number of hours—at least not yet. Sorry, this position is not open to law students or recent law school graduates.
I am very big on transparent communication and having a sense of humor at work. Let's be professional, but we do not need to be so dang serious all the time. This is a total work-from-home, remote position.
I need someone aggressive who is not afraid to pester attorneys about approaching deadlines and who has an aptitude for learning new technologies.
