The National Association for Law Placement's 2010 Public Sector & Public Interest Attorney Salary Survey is now underway. Every two years, NALP conducts this unique survey to gather important data on attorney salaries, benefits packages, and loan repayment assistance programs. Public interest law offices have relied upon data from past surveys in resetting salary scales, negotiating union contracts, implementing loan repayment programs, and in other ways.

Who should participate?

• Civil Legal Services Organizations
• Public Defender's Offices
• District Attorney/Local Prosecutor's Offices
• All other nonprofit, public interest law offices (e.g. those organizations that promote civil liberties, human rights, advocate for the homeless, etc.

A hard copy of the survey was mailed to public interest organizations throughout the country on January 28, 2010. The survey is also available electronically here: https://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/9c6eg423bc.  (Please complete either the hard-copy or electronic version, not both.)

All survey participants will receive a free electronic copy of the report when it is released later in the year.

The survey response deadline is February 23, 2010, but you are encouraged complete it as soon as possible.

Please contact Steve Grumm, NALP's Director of Public Service Initiatives, with any questions: sgrumm@nalp.org or 202-296-0057.
