What the work is
Help us understand how lawyers' jobs differ across the profession. We are studying the dimensions that distinguish different jobs, drawing on the independent judgment of experienced practitioners.
Selected participants will complete one written survey. You will identify the main dimensions that distinguish jobs within the legal profession and the main categories or values within each dimension. You can write concise notes and clarify unfamiliar terms where needed. We are interested in your own professional perspective; no research or preparation is required.
Expected survey time: approximately 15 minutes. This is an estimate, not a time limit; there is no timer.
Compensation: $25 for completing the survey after selection. Applicants already in our applicant pool before recruitment reopened on September 14, 2026 will receive $50 if selected and they complete the survey. Existing offers retain their original payment terms.
Who this is for
- Lawyers with at least one year of professional experience practicing law.
- Current or recent experience with the U.S. professional context.
- Experience as a practicing lawyer, including in a law firm or in-house role.
- Ability to describe the occupation from direct professional experience.
All legal practice areas are welcome, including litigation, criminal, family, tax, and corporate law. Judicial attorney work also counts. You do not need to have worked in every part of the profession. Internships, student projects, and legal-content annotation alone do not meet the practice requirement.
Participation
Submit the short eligibility application first. The research team reviews applications and invites selected participants to the survey. The full survey is provided after selection.
Please keep your survey response general and do not include names of clients, employers, or individuals, or confidential matter details. Respond in English using your own experience. Your answers are not scored for agreement with a preferred view.
