How does The NLJ define “full-time associates in the incoming 2010 class”?
All associates who are scheduled to enter the firm directly after law school graduation in 2010 or who were deferred from other graduating classes and started as first-year associates in 2010. Associates who come to the firm after completing a judicial clerkship are part of the incoming class of whatever year they begin work at the firm, not the year they graduated law school.
