The New York City Bar yesterday retracted a finding from a survey suggesting that deferred associates were not satisfied with the lawyers with whom they worked at public interest groups. The city bar said it misinterpreted data it collected earlier this year.
The bar association also issued a revised version of the report released earlier this month (NYLJ, March 8). The new version claims deferred associates “were largely happy with their placements,” a stark difference from the previous report, which suggested a “culture gap” had emerged between the law firm-bound lawyers and their public interest colleagues.
