Law Firm Rankings

Law Students Building a Better Legal Profession (BBLP) has just released its rankings of big law firms in several markets across the country in areas like diversity, billable hours and pro bono hours. I found the documents on the "female opportunity gap" particularly interesting -- while at many law firms women make up between 35-50% of associates, they generally make up less than 20% of partners.

I don't think I will be working at a law firm after graduation, but I haven't completely ruled it out, and, regardless, I think what big law firms do is relevant to the legal profession as a whole because the big law firms are the most visible face of the legal profession. So I definitely support what BBLP are doing.
