Where can I find information on firms?

[Andrew]

I know vault.com is a good resource for getting information on law firms (salaries, hours, etc).  

See Vault: Law Firm Rankings:
http://www.vault.com/nr/lawrankings.jsp?law2001=6&ch_id=242

Does anyone know of any similar resources?  Is there something similar that has info on medium and small firms?

American Lawyer magazine publishes a ranking of the biggest and most profitable firms each year.  You can check out the highest grossing firms on law.com at:

http://www.law.com/special/professionals/amlaw/revenue_2001.html

Check out Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz with a per-lawyer revenue of $2,170,000.  That's some serious cash.

you can search through Lexis which has means to sement search certain geographical areas, certain areas of practice, specific size firms, alum from your law school or college.  Go to 'Reference' under the main index under Lexis.  Then to 'Career Development,' followed by 'NALP National Directory of Legal Employers.'  Use Focus terms you learned in legal research to target your search.  Good luck.

nalpdirectory.com!!!!

this shows past, present and future hirings for each firm, break down by gender, ethnicity, even sexual orientation. It shows which schools firms OCI at, what they are looking for, what their philosophy is, who the hiring partner is, how big the firm is, break down by partner v. associate, what areas of law they practice in, etc.!!

ALSO, they have a mail merge option in case you wanted to do targetted mailing. mail merge costs money, but most career services at schools have already paid so it is free to you (and if not, it's really cheap anyway).
