Building a Better Legal Profession (BBLP) is a national grassroots organization founded by students at Stanford Law School in January 2007.〔"Leadership," Building a Better Legal Profession, http://www.betterlegalprofession.org/leadership.php.〕 The group collects and publicizes employment data at large private law firms as a way of encouraging workplace reform at these companies. By encouraging students to "vote with their feet" and select future employers based on quality-of-life criteria rather than the prestige of the firms, BBLP creates market-based incentives for workplace reform.〔Vesna Jaksic, Student group grades firms on diversity, National Law Journal, October 11, 2007, http://www.nationallawjournal.com/id=900005493253〕 ==Law Firm Rankings and Report Cards== Using data from the National Association for Legal Career Professionals (NALP) a system of report cards and rankings of law firms has been created. BBLP uses data from 11 major markets in the United States to show prospective attorneys what they can expect from a potential law firm should they receive a job offer. Rankings cover an array of information that is important to future lawyers including firms’ minimum billable hour requirements, average associate hours worked, demographic diversity, average pro bono hours, and the number of part-time attorneys. ] Rankings and Report Cards are available for the following markets: *Atlanta *Boston *Chicago *Manhattan *Miami *Northern California *Pacific Northwest *Philadelphia *Southern California *Texas *Washington, DC 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Building a Better Legal Profession」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
