    Law-lib and Nocall List Colleagues,

    Posted on behalf of a colleague not subscribed to the list.

    Please excuse the cross postings.

    One of our Research Assistants is trying to determine the number of
    attorneys at select firms who worked for the Dept. of Justice prior to
    going on to private practice. The RA is considering working with the
    attorney profiles in Martindale Hubbell over a range of years as one
    approach to finding this information.

    Our question is - does anyone know how MH goes about collecting the
    information it publishes in its attorney profiles? We know that the onus
    is on the firm to provide the information that it wants included, but does
    MH provide a form or template that would make it likely that past work
    experience at the DOJ would be included in a listing?

    And a related question - it’s been many years since I’ve worked at a firm,
    my recollection is that information for MH listings was handled centrally.
     How does your firm handle this process and how has it changed over time?
    Maybe your firm no longer even lists in MH, or does just a bare bones
    listing.

    Thanks in advance for your help, suggestions and insights.
