Students Grade Firms on Diversity
Building on last Friday's blog about finding the right law firm for you, there is a new resource to check out when deciding which law firm is the right fit!
A group of law students, calling themselves "Law Students Building a Better Legal Profession," have decided to turn the tables a bit on law firms. The group has created a website and blog grading top law firms on the basis of diversity, pro bono and billable hours. According to members, their purpose is simply to give law students an easy way to compare top law firms based on more than just salary information. They are dedicated to the idea that practicing law does not mean giving up a commitment to family, community and dedicated service to clients. Law firms are graded in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, Boston and Washington D.C. areas with data taken from NALP. Be sure to check it out!
