NALP Public Interest/Sector Salary Survey – Final Response Deadline March 19

Final Notice: the survey response deadline is this Friday, 3/19.  Please spread the word.  And if  you work with a public interest organization, check to see if your office has participated in this very important undertaking.  Thanks!

Please participate in the National Association for Law Placement’s 2010 Public Sector & Public Interest Attorney Salary Survey. Every two years, NALP conducts this unique survey 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, implementing loan repayment programs, and in other ways.

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.)

A hard copy of the survey was mailed to public interest organizations throughout the country on January 28, 2010. The survey is also available electronically here. (Please complete either the hard-copy or electronic version, not both.) All survey participants will receive a free electronic copy of the report when it is released later in the year. The survey response deadline has been extended to March 19, 2010.

Please contact Steve Grumm, NALP’s Director of Public Service Initiatives, with any questions: sgrumm@nalp.org or 202-296-0057.
