Procedural details are below.
Currently there is no newsgroup in which job postings and related discussions specifically related the legal profession can be posted, other than general job posting newsgroups. There is a mailing list related to legal jobs which has fairly significant traffic. In addition, job postings and related discussions have been appearing with more and more frequency in general legal newsgroups and mailing lists. As the use of computers and specifically, the Internet, steadily increases in the legal profession the need for a newsgroup such as this will continue to grow. The creation of misc.jobs.fields.legal will consolidate the current scattered discussions and will provide a central forum in which legal job posting on the Internet can grow.
