Next Year's Summer Associates Will Have Shorter Time to Accept Offers (Also - Stats on Cleveland-Marshall)

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | February 26, 2008 - 10:34

The NALP, the association for legal career professionals, recently adopted guidelines requiring second and third years to accept summer employment offers within 45 days, or by Dec 30, whichever comes first. Offers can be extended by the firm. Check out the guidelines for more details. For example, the rules are different for firms which have fewer than 40 attorneys. The change is for one year only, but may become permanent. Almost all law schools, and 900 employers are members of NALP.

See NALP Directory of Legal Employers, NALP Directory of Law Schools. You may want to look up Cleveland-Marshall (don't forget the hyphen) for some interesting stats on our school.
