from Brian Dalton, Breaking Media Director of Research The ATL School and Firm Insiders Survey asks self-identified current students, alumni, and practicing lawyers to rate major aspects of life at their law school (academics, social life, clinical training, career services, financial aid advising) and/or law firm (compensation, hours, morale, culture, training). We then translate these ratings into letter grades, where the mean score for each particular ratings category is the equivalent of a “B.” * Today s inspirational human being: An ordained minister in Alabama was arrested after offering to perform a same-sex marriage inside a probate judge s office. She says she ll do it again, even though she knows she ll likely be rearrested for doing so. [USA Today ] * Meanwhile, Judge Callie V.S. Granade will hear arguments on whether she must order Alabama judges to issue marriage license to gay couples. Granade is the one who ruled the state s ban was unconstitutional in the first place. [New York Times ] * Per Major Lindsey Africa s Partner Compensation Survey, women partners have finally beaten men when it comes to law firm compensation. Wait, no, that s not true, it s just an anomaly, and [t]hese women might be outliers. [The Careerist ] * Blank Rome s ex-chairman donated $5M to Villanova Law to establish an ethics and compliance center. You re a few years too late, pal. The school could ve used an ethics and compliance center to avert its admissions scandal. [Philadelphia Inquirer ] * The legal profession can benefit from more diversity. Should those students only attend low-ranked law schools? Absolutely not. As we mentioned previously. law school diversity has improved, but only at the bottom.
