Freelance Legal Writers

Nolo, the oldest and foremost publisher of do-it-yourself legal books and software for consumers, and Internet Brands, a leader in online publishing for vertical markets, are seeking writers with a strong legal background to contribute well-written, informative articles to our portfolio of legal websites. Writers must be able to read statutes, understand legal issues, and put the law into plain English for a general audience. Demonstrated legal expertise is required.

For more than 40 years, Nolo has been dedicated to publishing the best, most accurate and up-to-date legal information available. We take our mission seriously. If you share our passion for making the legal system accessible to everyone--and can translate legalese into English—we’d love to hear from you.

This is a 100% freelance, telecommuting position. Assignments, writing, editing, and submissions are all handled through our online system. All you need is a computer, internet access, and the ability to deliver clean, concise copy on a variety of legal topics.

Requirements include:

    - Ability to write in an authoritative, neutral tone
    - Ability to translate legal concepts into articles and FAQs that can be easily understood by a consumer audience
    - Legal experience. (Please see below for specifications.)
    - Strong research and fact-checking skills
    - Attention to detail and the desire to provide accurate legal information to the online audience

We are currently looking for strong legal writers in the following areas, with these qualifications:

    - Bankruptcy Law - A law degree and experience in Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy
    - Debt & Credit Law - Experience with consumer issues surrounding debt, such as wage garnishments, student loan debt, repossessions, debt settlement and negotiation, and credit reporting. (Apply to Bankruptcy, but submit a writing sample on a debt topic.)
    - Criminal Defense Law - Lawyer with experience as a prosecutor or criminal defense attorney
    - Disability Law - Experience as a disability lawyer in the fields of Social Security, LTD, ADA access, or workers' compensation
    - Estate Planning - At least two years’ experience in estate planning or administration, either as a lawyer or a paralegal
    - Family/Divorce Law - Lawyer with at least three years’ experience in the field of family law
    - Foreclosure Law - Foreclosure law experience as a lawyer or paralegal
    - Immigration - Actively engaged in immigration law practice as a lawyer or paralegal and familiar with immigration-related codes, regulations, and current policies
    - Landlord/Tenant Law - Landlord/tenant law experience as a lawyer or paralegal
    - Personal Injury Law - Personal injury law experience as a lawyer or paralegal
    - Real Estate Law - Real estate law experience as a lawyer or paralegal
    - Small Business Law - Lawyer with significant small business law experience
    - Tax Law - Must be a lawyer with tax law experience

If you join the Nolo writing team, a legal editor who has expertise in your subject area will assign and edit your articles. Most articles we publish are from 600 to 1200 words long. Rates vary from $25 to $75; as you would expect, we pay more for longer and more complicated articles.

To apply, simply go to www.ibpublishing.com/, the Internet Brands application site for writers, and choose from the various law categories.

If you have any questions, feel free to send an e-mail to applications@nolo.com.
