Fall recruiting experiences are a topic of great importance both to law schools and to legal recruiters, particularly as activity in the employment market for entry-level and summer asssociates is affected by the economy as a whole. NALP reports annually on the level of employer activity on campus, employer and school participation in job fairs, and outcomes of summer programs and fall recruiting in Perspectives on Fall Recruiting.

In addition, Patterns & Practices: Measures of Law Firm Hiring, Leverage & Billable Hours uses information from the two most recent editions of the NALP Directory of Legal Employers to provide comprehensive documentation of the hiring of entry-level associates, summer associates, and lateral attorneys.
