Retired Attorney Needed For Legal Research
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
Comprehensive legal research is required on one specific doctor, with the goal of uncovering every relevant case, statute, disciplinary filing, or other public record that might bear on the doctor’s professional conduct and potential liability. Because context and nuance matter to me, I need the work handled by a retired North Carolina attorney who understands how to read between the lines of medical-related filings and can explain the findings in plain language.
I live in Archdale (just outside High Point and Greensboro) and prefer to review the material face-to-face. A short drive to my location for an in-person discussion is therefore essential. Remote document gathering and online database work—Westlaw, Lexis, North Carolina appellate reporters, state licensing board archives, PACER—can be done wherever you wish, but the final hand-off and clarification meeting must happen at my kitchen table.
Scope of assistance
• Primary need: in-depth, attorney-level research (case law, statutes, regulatory actions, prior complaints, settlement history, news coverage).
• Secondary need: a concise memorandum that organizes the findings, flags critical precedents, and cites each source so I can follow up as needed.
• Optional but welcome: recommendations on next legal steps or further evidence to obtain.
Deliverables
1. Written research memo (digital and hard copy).
2. Annotated list of all cases, statutes, and administrative materials located.
3. Copies or PDF scans of each source where possible.
4. One in-person meeting in Archdale to walk through the results.
Acceptance criteria
• Every citation verified and accurately quoted.
• Memo structured so a non-lawyer can grasp the implications.
• Meeting scheduled within seven days of handing over the written work.
If you are a retired lawyer in or near High Point/Greensboro, comfortable with deep-dive research and a brief road trip to Archdale, this assignment should fit neatly into your wheelhouse.
