NALP Conducting Public Interest Salary Survey
The National Association of Law Placement (NALP) is conducting a survey of public interest and government law offices to gather data on attorney salaries, benefits packages and loan repayment assistance programs.
In past years, the data collected for this survey has shown that the average starting salary for civil legal aid lawyers is the lowest in the legal profession, both in the private and public sector. According to NALP, public interest groups have also used the data to adjust salary scales, advocate for expanded loan repayment assistance programs and more.
Hard copies of the survey will be mailed to public interest groups in late January. The survey will also be available online. Participants will receive a free electronic copy of the report containing the survey’s results when it is published later this year.
