Each fall SALT distributes a salary survey to the deans of American law schools to collect information on typical salaries. The more information collected from the survey, and from public sources, the more accurate the picture of academic salaries.
The results of the survey are published in the winter so that law professors have information available to them for hiring, retention, and promotions.

The 2007-2008 Salary Survey was mailed out to the deans of American law schools. We urge SALT members to contact their deans and request their cooperation in completing the information when requested next year so that the Survey will be comprehensive and accurate.
