NALP Launches 2010 Public Interest Attorney Salary Survey
Calling All Public Interest Attorneys: please have your office participate in the National Association for Law Placement’s (NALP) 2010 Public Sector & Public Interest Attorney Salary Survey.
What is the Survey?
Every 2 years, NALP conducts this unique survey of public interest and government law offices to gather important data on attorney salaries, benefits packages, and loan repayment assistance programs. Public interest law offices have relied upon data from past surveys in resetting salary scales; negotiating union contracts; advocating for legislative changes to salaries and expansions of loan repayment programs; and more.
The survey is endorsed by the Legal Services Corporation, the National District Attorneys Association, the National Legal Aid & Defender Association, and others.
Who should participate?
- Civil Legal Services Organizations
- Public Defender’s Offices
- District Attorney/Local Prosecutor’s Offices
- All other nonprofit, public interest law offices (e.g. those organizations that promote civil liberties, human rights, advocate for the homeless, etc.)
How to Participate
It is very easy to do. The survey is now being mailed by hard copy to public interest law offices throughout the country. It is also available electronically here: https://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/9c6eg423bc. (Please complete either the hard-copy or electronic versions, not both.) All survey participants will receive a free electronic copy of the report when it is released later in the year.
Please contact Steve Grumm, NALP’s Director of Public Service Initiatives, with any questions: sgrumm@nalp.org or 202-296-0057.
