Diversity Survey by NAPABA

[Editor: this is a guest blog]

From NAPABA (National Asian Pacific American Bar Association)

We need your help to recruit attorneys to take our survey evaluation the advancement of Asian Pacific Americans in large law firms!

In particular, we need European American / Caucasian law firm attorneys (partners and associates) to complete the survey.

The NAPABA-NLF Diversity Task Force survey entitled "Experiences in Advancing in Large Law Firm" was released last year to the managing partners of the top 200 Am Lam Firms in the United States.

We encouraged these law firms to participate in the hope of gaining insights from personal experiences of partners and associates/other attorneys to identify patterns and trends of success as well as potential obstacles to career advancement.

The survey was prompted by studies from major bar associations that revealed that Asian Pacific Americans have the lowest or among the lowest conversion rates from associate to partner compared with other ethnic groups.

To access the survey, click here (for partners) or here (for associates/counsel/staff attorneys).

For information about how to participate in this study, contact NAPABA Staff Assistant Melanie Robinson at Mrobinson@napaba.org.
