Here's an interesting (and appellatey, sort of) job posting: Legal Advisor To The Supreme Court Committee On Judicial Ethics Opinions
The job involves working closely with the judges on the committee (consisting of several California Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal justices, among others), to identify, research, and write opinions on ethical issues impacting California judges and courts. This job is one of those rare legal jobs that combines significant work-life balance with the ability to work on interesting and novel legal issues. No billables, no clients – just the law. The job is particularly suited to appellate attorneys because of the need for someone with excellent research and writing skills.
