Attorney Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a attorney in Kansas?
To become a licensed attorney in Kansas, you must earn a Juris Doctor from an ABA-accredited law school and pass the Kansas Bar Examination, which is administered by the Kansas Board of Law Examiners. After passing, you submit a character and fitness application and are admitted to practice by the Kansas Supreme Court. Kansas also participates in the Uniform Bar Exam, so scores from other UBE jurisdictions may transfer with a score meeting the Kansas threshold.
How much do attorneys make in Kansas?
Attorneys in Kansas earn a median of about $106,650 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,300 for the lowest 10% to over $213,360 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire attorneys in Kansas?
Kansas attorney roles are posted by Epic, Tyler Technologies, and LegalStream and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Kansas's mix of energy companies, agricultural enterprises, and state government agencies creates consistent demand across corporate, regulatory, and public-sector legal practices.
Which Kansas cities have the most attorney jobs?
Overland Park, Kansas City, and Topeka are the Kansas cities with the most attorney openings, reflecting the concentration of corporate headquarters, state government offices, and major healthcare systems that anchor legal hiring in those markets. Topeka draws significant public-sector demand as the state capital, while Wichita and Kansas City support larger private-sector and litigation-focused practices.
Are there remote attorney jobs in Kansas?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based fields because courtroom appearances, client meetings, and in-person depositions remain central to most practice areas. About 21% of attorney openings tied to Kansas are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and these tend to cluster in transactional, compliance, and contract review roles that rely less on physical presence.
How can I get hired as a attorney in Kansas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a judicial clerkship with a Kansas district or appellate court, which provides structured legal experience that large Kansas employers value highly when hiring new associates. State agencies including the Kansas Attorney General's Office and Kansas Department of Revenue regularly bring on entry-level staff attorneys. Law firms in Wichita and Topeka also hire new graduates into associate roles, and candidates who have completed a legal internship or clinic work at University of Kansas School of Law or Washburn University School of Law carry a concrete credentialing edge.
Where can I find and apply to attorney jobs in Kansas?
You can find and apply to attorney jobs in Kansas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your practice area and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
