I built The Posse List (www.theposselist.com) as a place for temporary attorneys to find work. We have grown from 25 people in 2002 to over 16,000+ members today who have now morphed beyond temporary attorneys to include law firm IT departments, law firm practice groups, legal recruiters, e-discovery companies, in-house counsel corporate departments, etc. We have built relationships with the Association of Corporate Counsel, Incisive Media, LexisHub, etc.


Plus the website has become a “go to” site for its editorials, listings, and news items and an explanation as to “how things work” in certain aspects of the legal industry such as e-discovery, document review, how to go solo, etc. Take a look for yourself…Trends In the Contract Attorney Market:
