American lawyers - Uncle Sam wants YOU!

Posted 10/04/2008 by Ben Hallman

'Surging' isn’t just for soldiers anymore. In an effort to increase the number of civilian lawyers working on legal programs in Iraq, the US Department of State is hiring 40 civilian attorneys as part of a lawyer “surge”.

The attorneys will work for one of the eight Provincial Reconstruction Teams in Iraq, as liaisons to local judges, lawyers, and other community leaders.

Job tip: Wilson Myers, head of the Baghdad rule of law team, says interpersonal skills are more important than work experience. So if you are tired of your desk job (and, ideally, your friends and family) visit www.usajobs.com and search under “rule of law”.
