This year’s Selected Findings for the Class of 2017 show a rise in the overall employment rate for the Class of 2017, to 88.6% of graduates for whom employment status was known, even though the number of jobs found by graduates fell again. Read the press release or watch the member webinar on the Class of 2017 page.
“It is gratifying to see that salaries for public service attorneys continue to rise,” said NALP’s Executive
Director James Leipold, “but at a time when private sector starting salaries at the largest law firms are on
the move as well, the gap between large law firm salaries and public service salaries is highlighted.
Supporting lawyers who work in the public interest with professional compensation packages that allow
them to pay down their student debt, afford housing, and do the good work they do has never been
more important.”
NALP is pleased to announce the publication of two new resources for career services professionals to share with students. The Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Data Protection Careers Checklist and the Compliance Careers Checklist provide valuable guidance for students looking to pursue careers in these growing fields. Both checklists outline key questions students should ask themselves and the information needed to consider careers in these fields.
