What are Quasi Legal Jobs?
Quasi legal jobs are those jobs where a law degree is considered an asset but is not a pre-requisite. These jobs are not contractual law related jobs; rather these are jobs that would add great value to your marketability to law firms as an attorney in a year or two. In other words, your "off the law firm path" job would still be a valuable step in the ladder to your career as an attorney.

How Do You Land Quasi Legal Jobs?
It is but common sense that these types of jobs would not be listed under 'attorney positions'. You need to broaden your search to all types of employees, for you will find such jobs in almost every industry or field, i.e. regulated businesses, corporations large, medium or small, non-profit organizations, local government, and even in federal or state jobs.
The positions that would benefit from your law degree and also increase your value as a lawyer at a later date are also widely varied. Here are a few examples: small business formation, policy and legislation, mediation, compliance and audits, public and media relations, IP (intellectual property), IT (information and technology), real estate, financial services, financial planning, labor and employment, sales and contracts, human resources and so on.
