Pasadena, CA, July 9, 2008 – Salary survey plays a significant role in evaluating a professional’s employment prospects based on his/her academic record, work history, and unique talents and abilities. LawCrossing (www.lawcrossing.com) recently released its much awaited law firm salary survey for legal professionals—2008 LawCrossing Salary Survey.
The 2008 LawCrossing Salary Survey (formerly 2007 Judged Salary Survey) provides current and essential information on more than 500 of the top US law firms, including each firm’s primary practice areas, hiring trends, and salary and benefits information. The salary survey is an important resource for several reasons:

2. The coverage of this e-guide is exhaustive, as the firms are analyzed according to 15 different parameters.

4. The structure of the salary survey facilitates its use as a resource: the facts and tables in each chapter are organized in a clear, accessible format so that readers have volumes of solid information at their fingertips.
“Salaries in law firms vary from location, firm-size, experience, law school tier, billable hours, practice areas, and other individualistic criteria. The 2008 LawCrossing Salary Survey offers attorneys and law students the most current and accurate salaries and benefits offered at almost every law firm in the United States,” says A.
