In winter and spring 2007, Vault surveyed more than 18,800 associates at more than 167 major law firms across the country and asked them to rank firms in terms of how prestigious it would be to work for them. We took these scores to calculate our prestige rankings. For our quality of life rankings, we asked associates to rate their own firms on issues such as treatment by partners, formal training, informal training and mentoring, hours and compensation and then scored the firms against each other.

Vault has also surveyed law firm partners from the nation's most prestigious firms, resulting in the Vault Partner Rankings.
