Diversity, Gender, Good Works: Students Rank Law Firms

Building a Better Legal Profession, a “national grassroots organization,” is a web site that ranks and grades large private law firms on factors such as diversity of partners, pro bono work, and billable hours. According to their mission statement, the organization “seeks market-based workplace reforms ... by publicizing firms' self-reported data.”  By doing so, they “encourage those choosing between firms — students deciding who to work for after graduation, corporate clients deciding who to hire, and universities deciding who to allow on campus for interviews — to exercise their market power and engage only with the firms that demonstrate a genuine commitment to these issues.” Thanks to the Law Librarian Blog for mentioning this site.
