NALP's Principles & Standards for Law Placement and Recruitment Activities
The National Association for Law Placement (NALP) adopted "Principles and Standards for Law Placement and Recruitment Activities" in 1978. These Principles and Standards are organized by General Principles, Principles for Law Schools, Principles for Candidates, Principles for Employers, and General Standards for the Timing of Offers an Decisions. Please go to http://www.nalp.org/content/index.php?pid=16 to review these Principles and Standards.
We wanted to highlight the Standards for Timing of Offers and Decisions on this blog. Please keep in mind that employers and law schools that are members of NALP (Case Western Reserve University School of Law is a member) are expected to abide by these Standards -- employers that are not NALP members are not expected to follow them, and most likely would not. If you have an offer or offers from NALP employers, please refer to the chart at http://www.nalp.org/content/index.php?pid=28 so you know when you need to respond to the offer and how long you may hold offers. If you ever have any questions about accepting and rejecting offers, please ask someone in the CSO.
