Spread the Word: NALP Launches 2012 Public Interest Employment Market Snapshot Survey

By: Steve Grumm

Hi, folks. We at NALP have just opened collection on our 2012 public interest employment market survey.  (Response deadline: 11/30.)  The survey will provide us with information about current and future hiring expectations in nonprofit and government law offices, with respect to both summer law students and attorneys.  Please spread the word to your contacts at U.S.-based nonprofit and government law offices by forwarding this blog post or using the below language.  Thanks much!

The National Association for Law Placement (NALP) is conducting a brief, anonymous survey of U.S.-based nonprofit and government public-interest law offices about 1) recent law student and attorney hiring and 2) hiring expectations for the immediate future. We will use the data to produce a report about what the public interest employment market looks like now and how it may change in the near future.

NALP will release the report in January 2013. The report will be made freely available online. The report will NOT identify any responding organizations by name. We hope the report will benefit the public interest legal community as well as law students and attorneys who are on public interest career paths.  Please participate in the short survey by clicking hereThe survey deadline is Friday, 11/30/12.  If you have questions please contact Steve Grumm, NALP’s director of public service initiatives, at sgrumm@nalp.org or 202.296.0057.
