New NALP Research Shows Equity Gaps Remain in Employment Outcomes

NALP has released the 50th edition of the hallmark research report on law graduate employment outcomes, Jobs & JDs: Employment and Salaries of New Law Graduates — Class of 2023. The commemorative 50th edition of the report is available now and includes a timeline of significant achievements in the legal profession across NALP's five decades of employment reporting. You can find the press release, the timeline, and more on the Class of 2023 page.

Common Application for First-Year Diversity Fellowship Programs

NALP's First-Year Diversity Recruiting Task Force has created a new Common Application for First-Year Diversity Fellowship Programs. Because students are applying for fellowships at the same time they are studying for exams, this is a critically stressful period for students. The Task Force is hopeful that the common application will decrease the workload on students applying for these fellowships, as well as increase the number of applications received by firms.

Statement on Affirmative Action

A diverse bar is critical to the legitimacy of the legal profession, the justice system, and the rule of law. NALP will continue to support its members in finding alternative ways to create diverse and talented student bodies and to continue the diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that are needed now more than ever.

NALP believes in fairness, facts and the power of a diverse community.
