Featured Job Survey: Billables, Pro Bono and Bonuses
Tonight’s ATL / Lateral Link survey explores the complex interplay between billable hours, pro bono, and sweet, sweet bonuses.
[Update: This survey is now closed. Read some of the results after the jump.]
Also, a quick note about this month’s who’s your favorite blawg other than ATL survey, which is still open. So far, the Wall Street Journal’s Law Blog is way out in front. We’re also very gratified that so many of you answered “What do you mean ‘Other Than Above The Law’???”, making us your second choice for second-favorite blog after… ourselves.
A tip of the hat and bang of the gavel to taxgirl, TaxProf Blog, Balkinization and Ms. JD for their successful write-in campaigns. You’re all in the survey now.
