description A 1998 study of 10,000 associates by the National Association for Law Placement reports high levels of law firm turnover: about 9% in the first year after law school. Turnover approaches 50% by the end of 3 years - just when associates are becoming profitable. The rates are even higher among women and minorities.

Proactive steps that law firms can take to reduce turnover are discussed.
