Press Release Body: Considering salary data plays a significant role in evaluating a
professional's employment prospects based on his or her academic record, work
history, and unique talents and abilities. LawCrossing (www.lawcrossing.com)
recently released its long-awaited law firm salary survey for legal professionals:
the 2008 LawCrossing Salary Survey.

The LawCrossing Salary Survey (formerly the Judged Salary Survey) provides current
and essential information on more than 500 of the top US law firms, including each
firm's primary practice areas, hiring trends, and salary and benefits information.
The salary survey is an important resource for several reasons:

1. The scope of the salary survey is unmatched. The guide offers information about
more than 500 national and regional law firms.

2. The coverage of the guide is exhaustive, as the firms are analyzed according to
15 different parameters.

3. The salary guide's degree of detail is substantial. Its thorough information
about each firm -- including each firm's year of establishment, number of offices,
office locations, number of attorneys, and key practice areas -- makes the salary
survey an invaluable addition to any law library.

4. The structure of the salary survey facilitates its use as a resource. The facts
and tables in each chapter are organized in a clear, accessible format so that
readers have volumes of solid information at their fingertips.

"Salaries in law firms vary by location, firm size, experience, law school tier,
billable hours, practice areas, and other criteria. The 2008 LawCrossing Salary
Survey offers attorneys and law students the most current and accurate salaries and
benefits offered at almost every law firm in the United States," says A. Harrison
Barnes, founder and CEO of LawCrossing.

Not only does this exclusive e-book provide the latest salaries, it also analyzes
the prevailing salary trends in the US legal market. The initial chapters identify
trends in the following areas:

. First-year salaries offered by law firms
. Summer associate salaries offered by law firms
. Sizes of law firms
. Offices of law firms

"The salary survey is an important resource for attorneys, law students, legal
recruiters, law libraries, and everyone else associated with the legal world," adds
Barnes.

Although the 2008 LawCrossing Salary Survey is priced at $39.99, currently it is a
free resource and can be accessed at
