Top Law Schools

I’m currently a senior associate in a specialty group (think exec comp or benefits). Thinking of “exit” options and have come across positions for knowledge management or resource attorneys at biglaw firms. The job description sounds like you basically organize precedent and help draft client alerts. Anyone have info on these positions? What are the hours? What do you spend your time doing?

Seems like one of those positions that would be first to go in any economic downturn. Am I missing something?
