Entry-Level NYC Legal Aid/ PD Offices Starting Salary

Post by publicinterestatty » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:39 pm

What have been the starting salaries for Legal Aid and other NYC PD offices (BK & BX Defenders, QLA, etc) for entry level attorneys in the past couple of years? 2015? 2016? 2017? 2018 (if anyone has been offered a job yet)?

2017
NYCDS - 68k + 5 weeks paid vacation

2016
BxD - 58k entry level/60k post bar
LAS - 51k entry level/60k post bar

I'm pretty sure NDS pay is in line with BxD/LAS but that's just a hunch

I don't think QLA hires anyone entry level ... no idea about BDS salary, but probably in line with BxD.

I take that back re QLA, I see on linkedin they have new grad hires

Thanks! I'm wondering whether BxD/ LAS salaries increased at all

You can look up Legal Aid's here, though it's a couple years old: https://alaa2325.files.wordpress.com/20 ... 15-ocr.pdf.
Brooklyn pays new attorneys 61.

Just got an offer from BxD and was told they are expected to increase ~$2-3k.

What are you looking for here OP? Is there a certain place you want salary info on? Are you a current 3L thinking of applying? It's pretty late in the game if so...

Looking for salaries of NYC PD offices to use in negotiations with a non-profit PI organization offer. 2017 LAS entry level would be the most helpful to compare.
