Take a state contract for part-time work. In some states, (where I live) there are several part-time contracts available for attorneys. Those contracts include public defender positions, attorney ad litem positions, and parent-counsel positions (representing indigent parents in DHS proceedings). Become local counsel for a national/state law firm. There are several national/state law firms who search for local counsel to represent their clients. These usually pay a flat fee per case and are generally in areas of law such as bankruptcy, foreclosure. Answer legal questions online. Law Guru and Just Answer are a couple of sites where you can answer state specific questions in your practice area and receive payment. These services allow you to pick which questions you want to answer so you have control over how much time you spend working on these sites. I answer on Law Guru and have had some pretty interesting questions. So, if you enjoy research this is something you would probably enjoy. Write articles on income-sharing sites. This is another way to put your knowledge to work for you and earn some residual income. There are several income-sharing sites, where you can provide beneficial information about your area of practice. Once you write these articles you can start receiving extra income that will continue to come without you doing any additional work. Private Teaching This is an age-long tradition that had kept many people going all through their university life. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to continue with the tradition. You indicate your interest in teaching children at home to everyone around you. It is always advantageous here for you if you got posted to a school. The teachers, the students, the members of your host community, not leaving out your fellow corps members could be helpful. It could involve you placing an advert of that through whatever means people can get it. Pupils and students in the terminal levels of their education need special lessons. Approach their parents and agree with them on some convenient price. Let me remind you that you can’t give what you don’t have. Update your knowledge to be able to teach others! Part-time Teach at colleges or Polytechnic/University. There are opportunities both online and off to teach classes in subjects such as criminal justice or paralegal studies. Educational Research These days, tertiary education students are lazy about doing educational research. If you know how to choose suitable researchable topics, prepare a review of related literature, compile and analyse data, this is where you can make some dough. The aspect of data compilation and analysis is the bomb. Let such students know of your service and charge them good. This becomes useful if you got posted to a locale where tertiary institution students live. You know that educational research is not beans. So, be prepared to take up the challenge and see yourself well off. Retail The distribution of products to their final consumers is going to be interesting to those with good marketing skills. Get some marketable product of interest to sell in your host community and get your profit out of that. Wouldn’t it be interesting that you make some people’s work easier by bring their basic needs closer to them? These are eight simple extra money making ideas for young attorneys to earn extra income in those times that there’s a need to do so. I’m sure there are other ways also but these will keep you in your professional field, suing the knowledge you already have. Which other ways do think young lawyers and Corpers can make money? Your comments would be appreciated.]]>
