"Building A Better Legal Profession " Website Focuses on Large Private Law Firms

Building A Better Legal Profession (www.betterlegalprofession.org), founded in January 2007 by Stanford Law School students, promises to be a welcome addition to the universe of information available to the vast majority of upper-echelon law students entering large private law firms. At first focusing solely on the negative effects of increased billable hours, and later adding other quality-of-life criteria, the primarily currently law students at Building A Better Legal Profession used publicly available data from the National Association of Law Placement (NALP) to evaluate the largest law firms in six major geographic markets (New York City, Washington D.C., Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco).
