JOB HIRING: Legal Writers Wanted


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 legal topic in which you have expertise.

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.
  • A law degree and at least three years of experience as a practicing lawyer.
  • Strong research and fact-checking skills.
  • Attention to detail and the desire to provide accurate legal information to the reader.

We are currently looking for lawyers in the following areas who are strong writers:

  • Immigration
  • DUI/Driving Laws
  • Small Business
  • Tax Law
  • Landlords & Tenants
  • Nonprofit
  • Bankruptcy & Debt
  • Criminal Law
  • Disability
  • Employment
  • Real Estates, Trusts & Probate
  • Family Law
  • Foreclosure
  • Medicaid
  • Personal Injury
  • Workers' Compensation

When 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; as you would expect, we pay more for longer and more complicated articles.
