Dear New Hampshire lawyer:

The future of the profession is integrally tied to our law schools, and your perspectives on what law graduates need to launch successful careers is critical. New Hampshire's input matters, and you are invited to take a survey to contribute your thoughts to this important issue.

The survey is being conducted by Foundations for Practice, a national, multi-year project of Educating Tomorrow's Lawyers to determine what law graduates need to launch successful careers in the legal profession, create models of legal education to better fulfill those needs, and identify tools legal employers can use to make better hiring decisions. This is the same organization that recently independently studied and reported on the Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program at the University of New Hampshire School of Law as being "Ahead of the Curve."

Taking the survey
To participate, please complete this online survey. The survey questions can be answered all at once or in multiple sessions from the same device. The survey is somewhat longer than you might typically see because it is a research study gathering robust information on a complex and important topic; it is not a marketing effort. The data collected will inform recommendations for legal education reform.

This is an exciting opportunity to have a voice in an ambitious project that will impact educational and hiring policies moving forward. Educating Tomorrow's Lawyers seeks to hear from a wide variety of people in the legal profession, so please consider contributing your input.

Your survey input is anonymous and confidential. Thank you in advance for contributing to the betterment of the profession. Click here to access the survey.

Sincerely yours,

John Burwell Garvey (NH Bar #907)
Professor of Law and Director
Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program
University of New Hampshire School of Law
