Contract Paralegal Jobs
Contract Paralegals (also known as Freelance Paralegals) are professionals hired on temporary or task-based basis to work on legal cases. The work is usually of a temporary nature, often with no guaranteed employment term. Educational qualifications of a contract paralegal are just the same as traditionally-employed paralegals. The duties of a Contract Paralegal are no different from those of a traditional paralegal. They work on an as-needed basis and their work is supervised by the attorneys. These paralegals help to make efficient and more cost effective the delivery of legal services to clients. A contract paralegal may be retained by an attorney, law firm, corporation or other entity for the purpose of performing specifically delegated substantive legal work. Certain reasons why the employers think of hiring paralegals on contract basis can include the following: less training costs; no workspace issues; no supplies or equipment to provide; hourly fee; no federal income taxes, social security taxes, unemployment taxes, workers’ compensation taxes; vacation or sick time to pay; and commitments to retain. Contract paralegals receive their fees but they are deprived of the employment benefits. They are more successful in large cities. They may set their own hours but they are responsible for arranging their own health insurance, business insurance, equipment, and secretarial and clerical support. Their success depends on their ability to generate fees.

Only LawCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the legal industry and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place. We have more than 25 times as many legal jobs as any other job board. We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites. We collect jobs from more than 250,000 websites and post them on our site. We do not charge employers to post their listings. We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.

I found the site to be very useful. For attorney jobs, I have not found any other site with nearly as many listings.
