NALP is currently conducting the Survey of Legal Employers on 2023 Recruiting. The results of the survey will be published in NALP's Perspectives on 2023 Law Student Recruiting in early 2024. Your participation will help to ensure a comprehensive report with important benchmarking information on recruiting and summer program outcomes. More information is available below.

Survey of Legal Employers on 2023 Recruiting

The Survey of Legal Employers on 2023 Recruiting is now open through Thursday, November 9. This survey is intended to be completed by any U.S. offices that hosted a summer program in 2023 and/or recruited 2Ls for a 2024 summer associate position or 3Ls for associate positions during summer/fall 2023. A PDF version of the survey is available here to assist in compiling your data; however, all survey information must be submitted via this online survey. Data on lateral hiring will be collected in a separate survey in late 2023/early 2024.
