Looking for Information on Salaries?
The Career Services Office library has a number of resources with salary information.
NALP's Starting Salaries: What New Law Graduates Earn presents a detailed look at new law graduates' salaries by type of employment, by size of firm, by city, and by state. It also compares the "buying power" of a salary in New York City with salaries in other major cities. In addition to helping students compare salary offers from different cities, the "buying power index" provides employers in cities with lower costs of living with a tool to promote what their salaries will buy.
Want to know what associates are earning? Take a look at NALP's 2006 Associate Salary Survey This annual research report takes a comprehensive look at associate salaries nationwide by class year; by city and/or state; by region; and by firm size. Comparisons of law firm compensation and bonus structures are also included. Firms surveyed for this annual research report are not limited to NALP member law firms. Take a look at city-specific tables and also at tables by class year, by region, and by firm and office size.
Finally, the Public Sector and Public Interest Attorney Salary Report — 2006, also published by NALP, features a section on federal government salaries and benefits as well as information on salaries by years of experience for attorneys at five types of organizations: civil legal services organizations, public defenders' offices, local prosecuting attorneys' offices, offices of attorneys general, and other public interest organizations. Salaries are reported for each of these five types of organizations both nationwide and by geographic markets. Basic information on benefits (health and dental insurance, retirement or pension plans), and on the availability and nature of Loan Repayment Assistance Programs is also included.
All of these resources can be found in the Information on Salaries binder in the CSO library (reference only). Please drop by and take a look!
