New York Bar Conducts Job Opportunity Survey More than seven thousand question- naires, requesting data on incomes and job opportunities, were distrib- uted to the nmmhers of the New York State Bar Association last month through the joint efforts of the State Bar and the New York City Section of the Junior liar Conference. The questionnaire is designed to ob- tain comprehensive information con- cerning the practice status of the members of the New York Bar, fields of specialization, incomes, legal ex- penses, and average fees. Of partic- ular interest to the Junior Bar are questions which ask whether young lawyers, apart from personal connec- tions, could secure salaried legal em- ployment in certain counties, and whether they might be able to make a living during their first two years in private practice. The survey is being conducted un- der the direction of John Kirkland Clark, New York, New York, chair- man of the State Committee on Pro- fessional Economics, assisted by Al- bert Paul Blaustein, New York, New York, chairman of the Survey Coln- mittee of the Junior Bar Conference in New York City. The Survey of the Legal Profession has authorized and approved the present study.
