Legal Reader

Job Description

Job Description

Direct Counsel is seeking detail-driven professionals to assist as a Reader. This is a rare opportunity for individuals with strong writing, reading, and listening skills to play a critical role in a high-stakes testing environment, helping exam takers perform at their best when it matters most. If you’re someone who thrives on accuracy, focus, and calm under pressure, this role is uniquely suited for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Reader, you'll partner with a test taker, providing necessary support during the examination.

This role requires stamina, precision, and professionalism—you’ll be a steady presence in an intense, highly structured setting.

Who This Role Is Perfect For

This opportunity is ideal for individuals with experience as:

• Legal secretaries
• Legal assistants
• Paralegals
• Professional typists or transcriptionists
• Proofreaders, editors, or strong readers
• Prior exam or accommodation scribes

Note: Law students, law clerks, and licensed attorneys are not eligible.

Schedule & Commitment (Required)

Compensation: $29-$32/ hour (DOE)

Orientation:

3 hours - July 27th - 1:00 - 4:00 PM

Exam Dates:

July 28, 2026 through July 31, 2026

7:00 AM – 7:30 PM (may end earlier depending on exam completion)

Full availability for all listed dates is required—no exceptions.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Meaningful, purpose-driven work
• Clear expectations and a structured environment
• Short-term commitment with high impact
• A chance to directly support someone at a pivotal moment in their career

If you’re highly reliable, detail-oriented, and take pride in precision, we’d love to hear from you!
