As a Per Diem Attorney, your assignments typically vary depending on the needs of the hiring firm or organization and may include court appearances, depositions, client consultations, or legal drafting. Schedules are generally flexible and project-based, meaning you may be called upon for same-day assignments, multi-day hearings, or periodic support during busy litigation periods. You may work independently or with different teams, often stepping in to provide coverage for staff attorneys or to manage overflow work. This setup offers valuable exposure to various types of law and can help build your legal network and experience. However, it also requires adaptability and the ability to manage shifting priorities efficiently.
