It also highlights what civil rights advocates say is a nationwide problem: the inaccessibility of courthouses to people with disabilities.

Associates Survey 2008

To find out how Midlevel associates rate their firms as workplaces, our annual midlevel survey examined 12 areas that contribute to job satisfaction. They include relations with partners and other associates, the interest and satisfaction level asso-ciates have in their work, training and guidance, policy on billables, management openness about firm strategies and partnership chances, the firm?s attitude toward pro bono work, compensation and benefits, and the respondents? inclination to stay at their firm for at least two more years. Respondents graded their firms on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score. On this chart, firms with ten or more responses are ranked by their averages on those questions. Averages include responses from all participating of-fices. For definitions of national and international firms, and for other details, see our methodology
