NALP Update: New Recruiting Guidelines
NALP, the National Association for Law Placement, announced yesterday its long-awaited timing guidelines for the 2010 legal recruiting season. After months of consideration, the association decided against setting specific dates before which offers could not be made, and settled on a modest change--a "28-day rolling response deadline for candidates not previously employed by the employer, and a November 1 response deadline for candidates who have been previously employed by the employer."

Making of Modern Law
The Making of Modern Law Collection contains full text American and British legal treatises from 1800-1926. It is a great place for legal history research. Looking into the history of divorce? The database has a book from 1881 titled Facts as to Divorce in New England. Researching copyright? How about a book from 1903 titled Our Archaic Copyright Laws.
The Making of Modern Law is restricted to the Hofstra Law School community.

Taxation & Economic Reform in America: A Historical Archive, 1781-2009
Too often people think of HeinOnline as an alternate source for law journal articles only. However, law journals are only one of the databases offered by Hein. There are many and today we highlight:
Taxation & Economic Reform in America: A Historical Archive, 1781-2009: a 225-year archive of taxation and economic reform in America containing more than 900 volumes and nearly one million pages of legislative history materials and other documents. It is a goldmine for the tax researcher. Just click on the Hein Online link on the front page of the Library's website to find this database and more.

What is the Future of the NALP?
The National Association for Law Placement is the group that coordinates law firm recruiting on law school campuses. The recession has brought calls for changes to current recruiting standards, including a proposal by the NALP that all summer associate job offers be issued in January.
This has led Peter Kalis, a partner at K&L Gates, to suggest that law firms and law schools work together to change how law firm recruiting is done, without the NALP.
It seems apparent that how law firm recruiting is done will change somewhat over the next few years, but how it will change--and how much it will change--is anyone's guess.
