This Just In: Law Firm Diversity & Billable Hour Alternatives

Amy Burchfield, Access & Faculty Services Librarian amy.burchfield@law.csuohio.edu | July 15, 2008 - 14:14

Want the scoop on diversity in the legal workplace? Vault’s Guide to Law Firm Diversity Programs surveys over 190 law firms nationwide on their demographic profile covering minorities, women, and gays and lesbians. Other questions address part-time/flex-time policies, diversity initiatives, attorneys with disabilities, recruiting methods and more. Baker Hostetler, Jones Day, Littler Mendelson, Porter Wright, Squire Sanders, Thompson Hine, and Vorys are some of the firms with Ohio offices included in the Guide.

Hoping to avoid billable hours? A third edition book from the ABA Law Practice Management Section might help you do that. Winning Alternatives to the Billable Hour: Strategies That Work suggests ways to sidestep the billable hour by using value billing, fixed fees, transaction plans and other strategies.
