Note on Corrections to the 2002 Summer Associate Survey Results and Methodology

We are publishing the corrected results of our summer associate survey. Last week, on Nov. 6, we discovered a serious error in our database. About 400 properly submitted surveys were not included in our tabulations. That represented roughly 10 percent of the total and meant that our results were incomplete and our rankings were wrong. We deeply regret this error.

To the reader: We are publishing the corrected results of our summer associate survey. Last week, on Nov. 6, we discovered a serious error in our database. About 400 properly submitted surveys were not included in our tabulations. That represented roughly 10 percent of the total and meant that our results were incomplete and our rankings were wrong. We deeply regret this error. After we learned of the mistake, we removed the results from our Web sites and for the last five days have worked to correct the errors. That process is now complete and today, Nov. 11, we are posting the new nationaland city-by-cityrankings. In addition, we have sent corrected copies of the results to the law firms that participated and to the recruiting offices of the nation’s law schools. Also, we will republish the lists in the December issue of The American Lawyer. The retabulation led to some changes on the list. We are now able to include 19 more law firms whose associates responded to our survey in sufficient numbers. We apologize to our readers and all the survey participants for these errors. We regret them and any inconvenience or confusion they may have caused. We are taking steps to add additional checks to our survey methodology to eliminate these and similar database errors in the future.
