Career The legal job search has become increasingly challenging over the past year. With the massive layoffs reported at large fi rms, the legal job market is comprised of both experienced lawyers and newly minted ones who may be applying for the same positions. A key in today’s job search is to have a plan that includes knowing where to identify employment opportunities. As part of your job search, you should make it a habit to visit the various attorney job banks regularly. I have provided a listing of several below that will assist you in your job search. The Intercollegiate Job Bank: Brigham Young University School of Law serves as the host of the Intercollegiate Job Bank. Every month, law schools upload their attorney job postings as a service to lawyers who may be relocating to a different area.
